The reason is Thucydides's Trap, a deadly pattern of structural stress that results when a rising power challenges a ruling one. This phenomenon is as old as history itself. About the Peloponnesian War that devastated ancient Greece, the historian Thucydides explained: "It was the rise of Athens and the fear that this instilled in Sparta that made war inevitable." Over the past 500 years, these conditions have occurred sixteen times. War broke out in twelve of them. Today, as an unstoppable China approaches an immovable America and both Xi Jinping and Donald Trump promise to make their countries "great again," the seventeenth case looks grim. Unless China is willing to scale back its ambitions or Washington can accept becoming number two in the Pacific, a trade conflict, cyberattack, or accident at sea could soon escalate into all-out war. In Destined for War, the eminent Harvard scholar Graham Allison explains why Thucydides's Trap is the best lens for understanding U.S.-China relations in the twenty-first century. Through uncanny historical parallels and war scenarios, he shows how close we are to the unthinkable. Yet, stressing that war is not inevitable, Allison also reveals how clashing powers have kept the peace in the past -- and what painful steps the United States and China must take to avoid disaster today"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000806145 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000806145 60000 $$aThucydides.$$tHistory of the Peloponnesian War. 000806145 650_0 $$aWar$$xCauses. 000806145 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations$$zChina. 000806145 651_0 $$aChina$$xForeign relations. 000806145 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAllison, Graham T., author.$$tDestined for war$$dBoston : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017$$z9780544935273$$w(DLC) 2017005351 000806145 852__ $$bacq 000806145 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000806145 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4591528$$zOnline Access 000806145 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:806145$$pGLOBAL_SET 000806145 980__ $$aEBOOK 000806145 980__ $$aBIB 000806145 982__ $$aEbook 000806145 983__ $$aOnline
