| description |
From before the time of Gibbon, historians with a global perspective have
been discussing the rise and fall of empires. Today political scientists frequently
speak of hegemonic states. If we review some of the best-known
studies conducted over the last forty-odd years, it is possible to identify
a variety of theoretical approaches adopted by those working on the history
of imperial or hegemonic states. The literature is vast and includes
traditional geopolitical studies with a focus on the roots of military superiority,
1 the sweeping propositions of the world-system school,2 as well as the
interpretations of historical sociologists who offer explanations based on
the changing capacities of states to exercise power through manipulation
of capital and coercion.3 While all raise important questions, these quite
general approaches do not necessarily provide convincing answers to the
issue of explaining the specific reasons for the rise and/or decline of a given
state or empire |
