Sobre este artículo
New York: Random House, 1987. 8th Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. 9x6x1. Eighth printing. Front jacket flap creased. 1987 Hard Cover. xxv, [1], 677, [1] pp. 8vo. "In this wide-ranging analysis of global politics over the past five centuries, Yale historian Paul Kennedy focuses on the critical relationship of economic to military power as it affects the rise and fall of empires. Nations project their military power according to their economic resources and in defense of their broad economic interests. But, Kennedy argues, the cost of projecting that military power is more than even the largest economies can afford indefinitely, especially when new technologies and new centers of production shift economic power away from established Great Powers - hence the rise and fall of nations.
Sinopsis

It then continues by forecasting the positions of China, Japan, the European Economic Community (EEC), the Soviet Union and the United States through the end of the 20th century.
