Product Description

Review
Drawing on a diverse body of scholarly research and a wealth of illuminating examples, Jervis shows that `system effects' are an important and often overlooked part of social and political life.... His insights will capture the imagination of those who puzzle over other social problems as well.... Viewed as a whole, System Effects offers a sobering and valuable moral.
(Steven M. Walt The Atlantic Monthly )

There are few doubts that System Effects is an important and timely book, one that should be studied closely not only by Foreign Offices, but by all people faced with the task of making decisions while uncertain about the consequences of alternative actions--and such people make a very large readership indeed.
(Zygmunt Bauman The Times Literary Supplement )

Review
System Effects presents a new way of looking at the international system as a network of inter-connections. The scholarship is sound, historically rich, and logically compelling.
(Glenn H. Snyder, Professor Emeritus, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill )
