The Dynamics of Enduring Rivalries

by Paul F. Diehl (Editor), Greta Gaard (Contributor), Patrick D Murphy (Contributor)

The concept of enduring rivalries--conflicts tantamount to militarized competition between two states--is rapidly emerging as a subject of research in international relations. The nine contributors to THE DYNAMICS OF ENDURING RIVALRIES place the concept in its empirical and theoretical context, exploring how such rivalries arise, what influences their development, and when and how they may escalate to war.
