The book defines a great power , charts the progress of the world economy, covers conflict in terms of secret intelligence, brute force and coercive bargaining, deals with economic statecraft and goes on to cover the states-system, diplomacy, peacekeeping and the role of the UN. This second edition has been updated and revised. In particular, chapter five has been reorganized in terms of the argument. A new chapter has been added on the world economy; and new material has been added on nationalism, foreign aid, intervention and unconventional diplomacy.
