The balance of power is one of the most influential ideas in international relations, yet it has never been systemically and comprehensively examined in premodern or nonEuropean contexts. This book redresses this imbalance. The authors present eight new case studies of balancing and balancing failure in premodern and nonEuropean international systems. The collective, multidisciplinary and international research effort yields an inescapable conclusion: much of the conventional wisdom about the balance of power does not survive intact with nonEuropean evidence.
