Scheduled warb If the hegemonic powers and emerging powers meet, the probability of war is closer than 80% to US-China war. What will be the destiny of the Korean Peninsula?

When the emerging powers threaten the ruling forces, the easiest result is the "trap of the Thucydides," which is the war. Historian Thucydides explains that the Peloponnesian war, which had ruined ancient Greece, occurred because of the fear of Spartan hegemony over the rise of Athens in the emerging country. Over the past 500 years, this has occurred 16 times, 12 of which eventually resulted in a war. Now, the 17th case is under way. China, which is emerging rapidly, is likely to face head-on collision with the supreme supremacy of the United States. Graeme Alison, a leading political scientist of our time, explains why the "trap of Thucydides" is the best lens to understand the relationship between the United States and China and tells us now what painful steps we must take to avoid disaster. iframe
