Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: Very Good. Since the seventeenth century, scholars have argued that kinship as an organizing principle and political order are antithetical. This book shows that this was simply not the case. Kinship, as a principle of legitimacy and in the shape of dynasties, was fundamental to political order. Throughout the last one and a half millennia of European and Middle Eastern history, elite families and polities evolved in symbiosis. By demonstrating this symbiosis as a basis for successful polities, Peter Halden unravels long-standing theories of the state and of modernity. Most social scientists focus on coercion as a central facet of the state and indeed of power. Instead, Halden argues that much more attention must be given to collaboration, consent and common identity and institutions as elements of political order. He also demonstrates that democracy and individualism are not necessary features of modernity. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardback. Condizione: New. The Baltic Sea is more than just an inland sea-it is a historical geopolitical stage. From Viking Age seafaring to a NATO-dominated region, this brackish sea has been a lifeline for the peoples and nations of Northern Europe. It has served as a hub for economic and political relations, from the Hanseatic League's dominance in the Middle Ages to the power struggles of the Swedish Empire, Poland-Lithuania, and Russia, as well as the dramatic shifts brought by the Napoleonic Wars, the two World Wars, and the Cold War. Yet, the Baltic Sea has also been a place of cooperation. Following the fall of the Soviet Union, the region experienced integration and growth-an evolution now once again challenged by new geopolitical tensions. How will the future be shaped by energy flows, climate change, and military strategies?

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. In recent years we have faced huge uncertainty and unpredictability across the world: Covid-19, political turbulence, climate change and war in Europe, among many other events. Through a historical analysis of worldviews, Peter Haldén provides nuance to the common belief in an uncertain world by showing the predictable nature of modern society and arguing that human beings create predictability through norms, laws, trust and collaboration. Haldén shows that, since the Renaissance, two worldviews define Western civilization: first, that the world is knowable and governed by laws, regularities, mechanisms or plan, hence it is possible to control and the future is possible to foresee; second, that the world is governed by chance, impossible to predict and control and therefore shocks and surprises are inevitable. Worlds of Uncertainty argues that between these two extremes lie positions that recognize the principal unpredictability of the world but seek pragmatic ways of navigating through it.

He also demonstrates that democracy and individualism are not necessary features of modernity. Combining political science with history, this book presents a new history and theory of how political order developed in Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East, explaining why some empires and states succeed and others fail. Elite families and dynasties are shown to be crucial to state formation. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
