Post-Cold War Predictions

Reviews / Votes

This is an excellent piece of scholarship that should interest students, academics, and policy analysts. Kassab provides an innovative framework for thinking about important international security issues. This book should also generate important debates between scholars in the field. Ultimately, I highly recommend this work!

Dr. Kassab presents a novel approach to study international relations and proposes a new methodology. The author revisits major scholarly works with a new light to help us better understand the current state of international affairs. This work is a precious, timely, and relevant contribution.

Every so often a book comes across our desks that contests what we have accepted to be the thinking and practice of Political Science. This book does precisely that as it sets a courageous tone that challenges as it clarifies. This is what Kassab has done with this important text. As students, practitioners, and academics we are tasked with making sense of how we got to this point in international affairs. We do not stop there, but rather also set out to both predict and try to shape the coming future. Kassab takes issue with this accepted approach by methodically showing its shortcomings and failures. A must read, this book presents both a challenge to the way we think about the field and a necessary way forward.
