The Shield of Achilles
by Philip Bobbitt
Following in the tradition of George Kennan and Paul Kennedy, Philip Bobbitt gives us a brilliant study of the effects of politics and war on statehood....In this elegantly reasoned and written study, he argues that the world war that began in 1914 did not actually end until 1990, when Fascism and Communism were finally vanquished, and what emerged victorious were the West and the new "market state." Taking the long view--in opposition to the "end of history" theory popular since the last days of the cold war--Bobbitt examines six centuries of interstate conflict and the treaties that ended them and gave birth to new forms of the state. In this way he shows us the market state as the latest of these conflict-driven incarnations of the body politic. And, drawing on his dep knowledge of constitutionalism, he goes on to consider possible directions for this still emergent form. Timely and challenging, THE SHIELD OF ACHILLES is a major work of historical analysis.
From War to Peace
by Gregory A. Raymond

Formerly titled HOW NATIONS MAKE PEACE, the book of case studies has been renamed to indicate the breadth of its content.
After Victory
by G. John Ikenberry
The end of the Cold War was a "big bang" reminiscent of earlier moments after major wars, such as the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 and the end of the World Wars in 1919 and 1945. Here John Ikenberry asks the question, what do states that win wars do with their newfound power and how do they use it to build order? In examining the postwar settlements in modern history, he argues that powerful countries do seek to build stable and cooperative relations, but the type of order that emerges hinges on their ability to make commitments and restrain power. The author explains that only with the spread of democracy in the twentieth century and the innovative use of international institutions--both linked to the emergence of the United States as a world power--has order been created that goes beyond balance of power politics to exhibit "constitutional" characteristics. The open character of the American polity and a web of multilateral institutions allow the United States to exercise strategic restraint and establish stable relations among the industrial democracies despite rapid shifts and extreme disparities in power. Blending comparative politics with international relations, and history with theory, AFTER VICTORY will be of interest to anyone concerned with the organization of world order, the role of institutions in world politics, and the lessons of past postwar settlements for today. It also speaks to today's debate over the ability of the United States to lead in an era of unipolar power.
