Empires, Systems and States: Great Transformations in International Politics

by Michael Cox (Editor), Tim Dunne (Editor), Ken Booth (Editor)

A group of leading academics considers how the European states system developed as the historical and institutional expression of political community. The scope of this volume is broad, including conventional accounts of the development of the European states system as well as the non-European experience. In particular, it inquires as to how and why a states system triumphed over other forms of political organization.
