The Balance of Power - Michael Sheehan

This text examines one of the guiding principles behind international politics. For over three hundred years the balance of power has been central to both the study and practice of international relations. In his book, Michael Sheehan analyses the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century workings of the classical balance of power system and traces its evolution through the twentieth century. He discusses the new ‘deterrence’ variant that was introduced into international power politics by the superpowers’ acquisition of nuclear weapons and the new European balance of power that will arise out of the end of the cold war.
 

The Balance of Power looks at the different meanings the concept has held through history and the key thinkers and statesmen who have influenced its development. It addresses arguments about morality and the value of the principle as a foreign policy guide. The book supplies the reader with a highly comprehensive account of the balance of power, showing how the principle and the structures it produced changed alongside political thought and international society. Michael Sheehan has written widely on the subject of defence and arms control. He is the co-author of two recent books on international defence and the author of Arms Control: Theory and Practice and The Arms Race.
