Over the Horizon demonstrates that cooperation between declining and rising powers is more common than we might think, although declining states may later regret having given upstarts time to mature into true threats.
David M. Edelstein is Associate Professor of International Affairs in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Center for Security Studies, and Department of Government at Georgetown University. He is the author of Occupational Hazards, also from Cornell.
"Over the Horizon is clearly written and will be of interest to IR scholars and policymakers alike."
Jeremi Suri, author of The Impossible Presidency:
"David M. Edelstein's book provides a sophisticated, original, and compelling account of how leaders manage uncertainty, with particular attention to time horizons. He offers the stunning insight that short-term cooperation between great powers is possible, even likely, in the face of uncertainty about the long-term. I strongly recommend this book to all policy scholars and practitioners."
Randall Schweller, author of Unanswered Threats:
"In this important and impressive book, David M. Edelstein eschews the traditional mechanistic view of power transitions and puts politics front and center."
