Summary
This chapter looking at the material presented about the post-WWII, period seeks to identify categories of incentives behind uses of interstate force: struggle to end colonialism, claims of historical rights, spread of ideology, religion, or culture, need for natural resources, wishes to prevent nuclear proliferation. Hurt pride and the aspiration for hegemony are also discussed as incentives to the use of force by the Soviet Union/Russia, US and China. Colliding aspirations for hegemony are noted as special risks of clashes and conflict
