Power Problems • February 12, 2019 

# Great Power Competition, Part II 

The Trump administration has emphasized the reemergence of great power competition as the organizing principle for U.S. foreign policy. How will international relations change in an era when new actors are challenging the status quo? In Part II of our great power special, Professor Stacie E. Goddard of Wellesley College joins Trevor Thrall and Emma Ashford to talk about her recent book, *When Might Makes Right*, about the relationship between rising powers and existing great powers.
