Robert Jervis, “The Era of Leading Power Peace”
 

1. Robert Jervis argues that great powers today have entered an era of  enduring peace in their relations with one another.  Why does he find  typical realist, liberal, and constructivist accounts lacking?  What is  his “synthetic interactive explanation” for the peace?
 

2. Jervis argues that a security community now exists among great powers  of the world, rendering war amongst each other almost unthinkable.   Briefly outline his argument for the existence of this security  community.  Do you agree with his assessment about the likelihood of war  amongst the great powers today?  Explain your answer.
