Destined for War: can America and China escape Thucydides's Trap?: can America and China escape Thucydides’ Trap?
Description
China and the United States are heading toward a war neither wants.
The reason, argues Harvard scholar Graham Allison in this razor-sharp analysis, is Thucydides’s Trap. This phenomenon, as old as history itself, is named for the Greek historian’s assessment of why the Peloponnesian War broke out: a rising power threatened to displace a ruling one.Through uncanny historical parallels, Destined for War shows how close we are to the unthinkable. Yet, stressing that war is not inevitable, Allison also reveals how clashing powers have kept the peace in the past - and what painful steps the US and China can and must take to avoid disaster.
