Lessons from Nineteenth Century Europe on Managing the Emergence of a Great Power

Abstract

In a dynamic and anarchic international system, the United States, now near the height of its global preeminence, must address a shifting equilibrium in the distribution of power and how best to accommodate a rising great power. As demonstrated by breakdown of the European system in World War I, the stakes are very high. The European failure to successfully deal with the rise of Germany offers some suggestions as how the United States should deal with a new emerging great power in the years ahead.
