Krátky popis
A three-thousand year history of the world that examines the causes
of war and the search for peaceIn three thousand years of history,
China has spent at least eleven centuries at war. The Roman Empire
was in conflict during at least 50 per cent of its lifetime. Since
1776, the United States has spent over one hundred years at war.The
dream of peace has been universal in the history of humanity. So
why have we so rarely been able to achieve it? In A Political
History of the World, Jonathan Holslag has produced a sweeping
history of the world, from the Iron Age to the present, that
investigates the causes of conflict between empires, nations and
peoples and the attempts at diplomacy and cosmopolitanism. A
birds-eye view of three thousand years of history, the book
illuminates the forces shaping world politics from Ancient Egypt to
the Han Dynasty, the Pax Romana to the rise of Islam, the Peace of
Westphalia to the creation of the United Nations.This truly global
approach enables Holslag to search for patterns across different
eras and regions, and explore larger questions about war,
diplomacy, and power. Has trade fostered peace? What are the limits
of diplomacy? How does environmental change affect stability? Is
war a universal sin of power? At a time when the threat of nuclear
war looms again, this is a much-needed history intended for
students of international politics, and anyone looking for a
background on current events.
