The Great Powers And The International System by Bear F. Braumoeller
Systemic Theory in Empirical Perspective
Develops a theory in which great-power behavior and international structure coevolve: states’ actions create systemic order, and that order in turn shapes state choices. Challenging purely anarchic or solely domestic explanations, it integrates agent-level decision making with system-level dynamics. Through formal models and quantitative evidence from the 19th and 20th centuries, it shows how shifts in power, interests, and shared expectations produce recurring patterns of hierarchy, cooperation, and conflict, illuminating why periods of order emerge and decay and when major wars become more or less likely.
