Know about the book -

The Origins of Revisionist and Status-Quo States is written by J. Davidson and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1137092017 (ISBN 10) and 9781137092014 (ISBN 13).

Explaining why some states seek the status quo and others seek revision in international relations, Davidson argues that governments pursuing revisionist policies are responding to powerful domestic groups, such as nationalists and those in the military, that believe they can defeat their rivals. He draws on examples of France, Italy and Great Britain to enhance understanding of a fundamental source of instability in international affairs.
