This is a blog to discuss world affairs from a perspective influenced by Paul Kennedy’s penetrating work, The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers.
World Powers, both great and secondary, are rising and falling at this moment. Understanding the dynamics of national interests and global relationships realistically, not ideologically, reveals the world behind the headlines as a very interesting place. History is still making.
It is impossible to know when great events will break in upon our everyday lives again, but we can watch them surge and ebb by tracking the Rise and Fall of Great Powers in our time.
