DESCRIPTION:This talk will give an overview of a new book manuscript\,  The
  Dynamics of Power Politics (with Paul MacDonald and Daniel Nexon)\, which
  develops a relational-network approach to power political mobilization. M
 uch of international relations theories assume that states have access to 
 “stocks” of power\, that military\, economic\, and diplomatic tools ar
 e readily available and ready to deploy in power-political competition. In
 stead\, we argue that scholars should orient their analysis of great power
  competition around processes of collective mobilization and demobilizatio
 n\, with the goal of identifying the strategies of mobilization that repli
 cate across time and space.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nI am the Betty Freyhof
  Johnson ‘44 Professor of Political Science and Associate Provost for\nW
 ellesley in the World. My research and teaching focuses on questions of gr
 eat power competition\nand international order. My latest book\, When Righ
 t Makes Might: Rising Powers and World Order was\npublished by Cornell Uni
 versity Press in 2018. Here I examine how a rising power’s legitimation\
 nstrategy affects whether a great power confronts or accommodates a potent
 ial challenger. If a rising\npower can portray its ambitions as legitimate
 \, it can make the case that\, far from being a\nrevolutionary power\, its
  advances will only preserve\, and perhaps even protect\, the prevailing s
 tatus\nquo\, then great power accommodation is likely. In contrast\, if a 
 rising power’s claims are\nillegitimate—if they are inconsistent with 
 prevailing rules and norms—then great powers will see its\nactions as th
 reatening\, making containment and confrontation likely.\n\nHost\nReppy In
