The Fates of Nations: Varieties of Success and Failure for Great Powers in Long-Term Rivalries

by Joshua Shifrinson, Alexis Dale-Huang, Michael J. Mazarr

Rivalries, especially with China, promise to define U.S. foreign policy and national security challenges for decades. The authors identify historical modes of strategic success and failure in great power rivalries that offer lessons for the United States. They define categories of success and failure and present case studies on specific historical examples that are associated with success and failure.
