The Rise and Fall of World OrdersManchester University Press, 1999 - 324 páginas Overviews past world orders to obtain a greater perspective on and more knowledge of international politics, and seeks to shed light on the cold war and the recent transition to a post-cold war world. Covers the four waves of great wars as defined by Mowat--the Italian wars, the Thirty Years War, the wars of Louis XIV, and the Napoleonic Wars--as well as the two World Wars of the 20th century. Looks at the moral influence which pre-eminent states in world orders exert on other great powers as a factor in their authority, as well as their military force and internal political consensus.
