Reviews

'Zhu's impressive study provides an excellent starting point.' - The China Journal

'Zhu's impressive study provides an excellent starting point.' - The China Journal'I like Zhu's historical-comparative methodology, and his case studies provide a solid survey of the historical/political context of power transitions' - Shogo Suzuki, University of Cambridge, Cambridge Review of International Affairs, 20:1, March 2007, pp. 203-204.'...this is a valuable, well-written study. Zhu has systematically applied power transition theory to the comparative study of three major cases involving a dominant power and a challenger. The cases include the British and the Germans, 1871-1914; the British and the Americans, 1865-1945; and the Chinese and Americans, 1990-2005' - S. Ogden, Northeastern University, CHOICE 2007
