Rezensionen

"The underlying reasons why rivalry among states will remain the moving force of international relations are set out in Paul Hirst s War and Power in the 21st Century , a short book written before 11 September that is worth more than a truckload of the ephemera that have appeared in the aftermath of the attack."

The New Statesman

"This short, well-written contribution to Polity s Themes for the 21st Century series contains a bold set of reflections on the future of states and war."

Political Studies Review

"A very useful study."
