Beskrivning
Examines why countries imitate the military systems of one another. A book of theory and history, it builds on and extends the most influential theory in international relations - neorealism. It offers an alternative account for emulation and convergence in the international system. It explains why states make certain choices in how to organize, prepare, and fight wars, and how international structures shape their choices. The work develops a neglected area of neorealism, applies it in new ways, widens its explanatory scope, and offers three rich - and uncommon - historical cases based on archival research.

Recensioner i media

"This is a fascinating, impressively documented, and intellectually provocative book which ‘marries Waltz and Tilly’ through the integration of comparative politics and international relations theory. This book will fascinate scholars interested in improving the predictive capacity of neorealist international relations theory; scholars and practitioners seeking to understand the state-building implications of responses to external imperatives; and scholars, practitioners, and citizens who want to understand why and how three South American countries - Argentina, Brazil, and Chile - built modern mass armies at the dawn of the twentieth century." Louis W. Goodman, American University
