The Routledge Handbook of Great Power Competition

The Routledge Handbook of Great Power Competition is a comprehensive, pioneering, and interdisciplinary guide of this re-emerging field.

Offering a team of cutting-edge researchers in the field, it advances an analytical framework of great power competition. It surveys the major theories (mainstream and critical theories), actors (state, quasi-state, and non-state actors), mechanisms (military, economic, and ideational influence mechanisms), and domains (territorial and borderless domains) pertaining to contemporary great power competition.

This Handbook will be an essential text for scholars and students of international relations, security studies, global governance, and comparative politics. It will also appeal to global policy makers and practitioners who are required to observe contemporary great power competition.
