The rise of China and other great powers raises important questions about the persistence and stability of the 'liberal international order'. This book provides a new perspective on these questions by offering a novel theory of revisionist challenges to international order. It argues that rising powers sometimes seem to face the condition of 'status immobility', which activates social psychological and domestic political forces that push them toward lashing out in protest against status quo rules, norms, and institutions. Ward shows that status immobility theory illuminates important but often-overlooked dynamics that contributed to the most significant revisionist challenges in modern history. The book highlights the importance of status in world politics, and further advances a new understanding of this important concept's role in foreign policy. This book will be of interest to researchers in international politics and security, especially those interested in great power politics, status, power transitions, revisionism, and order.

'This book is a worthy addition to the growing literature on how status concerns, especially combined with power transitions, shape international politics. By combining theory with historical case studies, Steven Ward contributes to our understanding of radical revisionism by showing how the psychological effects and domestic political repercussions of status immobility can lead to attempts by rising powers to overturn the existing international order. This study is a must-read for dealing with China and Russia today.' Deborah Welch Larson, University of California, Los Angeles
