#3179 of 3,809 books · #181 in Politics & Current Affairs
Shortlisted for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Current Interest (1993).
In The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, Kennedy brilliantly showed how powerful nation-states have repeatedly fallen into the trap of "global overreach". Now he shifts his focus to the transnational forces that will confront and transform nation-states in the coming decades: the doubling of the world population, increasing environmental degradation, advances in technology, and more.
