Why is the Liberal International Order unraveling – and will this lead to global disorder? Broken Cycle explores this urgent question by viewing international politics through a dynamic lens focused on the rise and fall of great powers – whose periodic global wars determine who rules and which ideas and values prevail in the reordered international system. Randall L. Schweller uncovers recurring patterns of change, offering a framework to anticipate the contours of the emerging world. Rather than tracking short-term diplomatic shifts, this book seeks the deeper rhythms of history – cycles of growth, expansion, and decline – that shape international politics over centuries. These patterns are not inevitable, but they are powerful. By understanding them, we gain insight into the forces driving today's dissent – and tomorrow's possibilities. This is a study of the structural forces that govern change, the crises that break the old order, and the ideas that rise in its place.
Randall L. Schweller is Professor of Political Science, Director of the Program for the Study of Realist Foreign Policy, and a Social and Behavioral Sciences Joan N. Huber Faculty Fellow at Ohio State University. He was the editor-in-chief of Security Studies from 2014 to 2021. Schweller is the author of Maxwell's Demon and the Golden Apple: Global Discord in the New Millennium (2014); Unanswered Threats: Political Constraints on the Balance of Power (2008) and Deadly Imbalances: Tripolarity and Hitler's Strategy of World Conquest (1998). He has also published many articles in leading journals, including World Politics, Foreign Affairs, The American Conservative, International Studies Quarterly, International Security, American Political Science Review, Global Governance, American Journal of Political Science, Review of International Studies, Cambridge Review of International Affairs, The National Interest, International Theory, and Security Studies.
