Changing Power Cycles and Foreign Policy Role-Power Realignments: Asia, Europe, and North America

University of Maryland at College Park

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

By documenting types of foreign policy role empirically, a calculus is presented for ascertaining the nature of power-role gaps (misalignment) in contemporary world politics. As states rise or decline on their power cycles, power-role gaps emerge because of an inherent inertia in adjusting roles and responsibilities.
