Handbook of International Rivalries, 1494–2010, new from CQ Press, answers that question, and explains how rivalry processes – the genesis of conflict – work.

This timely reference work not only explores rivalry resolutions but also unresolved, ongoing conflicts into the 21st century. Divided into six global regions, readers will find a research-friendly template approach for each rivalry covered, that includes:
