Festschrift in honor of the 65th birthday of Professor Xuewu Gu: Macht und Machtverschiebung - Schlüsselphänomene Internationaler Politik Festschrift in honor of the 65th birthday of Professor Xuewu Gu.: Macht und Machtverschiebung

This Festschrift in honor of Professor Xuewu Gu's 65th birthday brings together contributions on two closely intertwined key phenomena in international relations: Power and Power Shifts. Various manifestations of power are considered, as well as recent geopolitical developments. Consequently, basic theoretical research is combined with empirical studies of influential actors on the international stage, in particular the People's Republic of China, Russia, the European Union, and the United States of America. Aimed equally at students, researchers, and practitioners of international politics, the volume thus offers a profound insight into the work of the jubilarian and at the same time represents an important and highly topical contribution to the study of power.
