Simultaneously education and pedagogy contain creative elements presenting an immanent surplus that always exceeds incorporation. Empire and Education builds on the influential work of Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri to examine the role of education and pedagogy in the making and unmaking of Empire within our historical conjuncture. The essays included in the book which include an interview with Michael Hardt mobilize concepts of biopolitics swarm intelligence revolution love stupidity the body multitude networked solidarity and the common to imagine pedagogical possibilities for collective life beyond Empire.

The Mongol Empire Its Rise and Legacy

The Mongol Empire Its Rise and Legacy

In his prologue to The Mongol Empire Michael Prawdin sets the stage for the last and mightiest onslaught of the nomads upon the civilized world. He tells of the many rejoicings in Europe over the successes of the Crusaders in A. D. 1221. But little did Europe know that two decades later the Mongol hordes organized by Genghis Khan would turn the Middle East into a heap of ruins and spread terror throughout the West. A work of enduring scholarship and literary excellence The Mongol Empire is a classic on the rise and fall of the world's largest empire. It describes the incredible ascent of the Mongol people which through the political and military genius of Genghis Khan overwhelmed and subdued the nations of most of the world. It demonstrates the transformation of barbarous nomads into the most efficient rulers of their time and describes the crumbling of their vast empire and the assumption of its legacy by the formerly subjugated China and Russia. Maurice Collis in Time and Tide said of The Mongol Empire: It has the rare merit of being both scholarly and exciting. . The entire world comes on to his canvas romantic and fantastical persons pass in our view and at the conclusion we realize that we have seen the whole of what Marco Polo saw only in part. while The Observer commented it is a fine book full of dramatic occasion well used clear in proportions. | The Mongol Empire Its Rise and Legacy

American Empire in Global History

American Empire in Global History

This book shows how the predominantly national focus that characterises studies of the United States after 1783 can be integrated with global trends as viewed from the perspective of imperial history. The book also argues that historians of European empires have much to gain by considering the United States after 1783 as a newly-decolonised country that acquired overseas territorial possessions in 1898 and remained a member of the Western ‘imperial club’ until the mid-twentieth century. The wide-ranging synthesis by A. G. Hopkins American Empire: A Global History (2018) provides the starting point for contributions that appraise its main theme and take it in new directions. The first three chapters identify fresh approaches to U. S. history between the Revolution and the Civil War suggesting ways in which the United States can be considered as a newly-decolonised country examining shifting meanings of the term ‘empire ’ and reassessing the character of continental expansion. The second group deals with initiatives and responses in the Philippines and Cuba reconsidering the character of nationalism in two of the most important overseas territories that were either ruled directly or controlled indirectly by the United States and placing it an international context. The third group examines the exercise of U. S. power in the twentieth century identifying aspects of international law that have been overlooked and reviewing the extensive literature on the controversial themes of the Cold War and informal empire after 1945. The ten chapters in this edited volume bring together noted specialists on the history of international relations the United States and the insular empire it ruled in the twentieth century. The chapters were originally published as articles in a special issue of The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History. | American Empire in Global History

Rome and her Empire

Rome and her Empire

The name of Rome excites a picture of power and organisation as do the widely-spread ruins that Roman civilization left behind. Yet Rome grew out of a collection of small villages and major developments such as the growth of Empire were unplanned and completely unprepared for. Influenced by a small number of self-interested aristocrats who lacked a broader vision Rome was often threatened by their intrigues. Brought to the ground on a number of occasions its leaders were able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. How did Rome survive for nearly 1000 years ruling over millions of people with few instances of internal rebellion? David Shotter argues that the key was the way Rome managed to adapt to new circumstances without at the same time discarding too many of its cherished traditions. | Rome and her Empire

War and Empire The Expansion of Britain 1790-1830

War and Empire The Expansion of Britain 1790-1830

The years 1790 to 1830 saw Britain engage in an extensive period of war-waging and empire-building which transformed its position as an imperial state established its reputation as a distinctive military power and secured naval preeminence. Despite this apparent success Britain did not become a world super power in the conventional sense. Instead as Professor Collins demonstrates it operated as an enclave power influencing or dominating many regions of the world without ever asserting global hegemony. Even in the 1820s Britain still had to fight to maintain influence and sometimes struggled to assert dominance on the borderlands of the empire. By locating naval and military power at the heart of Britain's relationship with the wider world Bruce Collins offers an insightful reinterpretation of the interaction between military and naval war-making the expansion of the empire and the nature of the British regime. Using examples of conflicts ranging from continental Europe and Ireland to North America Africa and India he argues that the state‘s effectiveness in war was crucial to its imperial expansion and gives new significance to British military conduct in an age of revolution and war. | War and Empire The Expansion of Britain 1790-1830

Roman Masculinity and Politics from Republic to Empire

Roman Masculinity and Politics from Republic to Empire

This volume explores the role that republican political participation played in forging elite Roman masculinity. It situates familiarly manly traits like militarism aggressive sexuality and the pursuit of power within a political system based on power sharing and cooperation. In deliberations in the Senate at social gatherings and on military campaign displays of consensus with other men greased the wheels of social discourse and built elite comradery. Through literary sources and inscriptions that offer censorious or affirmative appraisal of male behavior from the Middle and Late Republic (ca. 300–31 BCE) to the Principate or Early Empire (ca. 100 CE) this book shows how the vir bonus or good man the Roman persona of male aristocratic excellence modulated imperatives for personal distinction and military and sexual violence with political cooperation and moral exemplarity. While the advent of one-man rule in the Empire transformed political power relations ideals forged in the Republic adapted to the new climate and provided a coherent model of masculinity for emperor and senator alike. Scholars often paint a picture of Republic and Principate as distinct landscapes but enduring ideals of male self-fashioning constitute an important continuity. Roman Masculinity and Politics from Republic to Empire provides a fascinating insight into the intertwined nature of masculinity and political power for anyone interested in Roman political and social history and those working on gender in the ancient world more broadly.

Mahasthan Record Revisited Querying the Empire from a Regional Perspective

Mahasthan Record Revisited Querying the Empire from a Regional Perspective

A small record consisting of six to seven lines that has been published by eminent epigraphists several times would require a fresh interpretation was almost beyond imagination. It was by chance that the Indian Museum displayed the Mahasthan stone plaque and after seeing this record several questions arose which demanded a fresh interpretation and this enquiry finally culminated into this slim monograph. The book attempts a re-reading of this inscription and also provides a fresh interpretation. It tries to situate this record in a broader canvas by interrogating the record along with several other evidences. This finally leads us to look at the Mauryan Empire from a regional perspective. | Mahasthan Record Revisited Querying the Empire from a Regional Perspective

Running Rome and its Empire The Places of Roman Governance

Running Rome and its Empire The Places of Roman Governance

This volume explores the transformation of public space and administrative activities in republican and imperial Rome through an interdisciplinary examination of the topography of power. Throughout the Roman world building projects created spaces for different civic purposes such as hosting assemblies holding senate meetings the administration of justice housing the public treasury and the management of the city through different magistracies offices and even archives. These administrative spaces – both open and closed – characterised Roman life throughout the Republic and High Empire until the administrative and judicial transformations of the fourth century CE. This volume explores urban development and the dynamics of administrative expansion linking them with some of the most recent archaeological discoveries. In doing so it examines several facets of the transformation of Roman administration over this period considering new approaches to and theories on the uses of public space and incorporating new work in Roman studies that focuses on the spatial needs of human users rather than architectural style and design. This fascinating collection of essays is of interest to students and scholars working on Roman space and urbanism Roman governance and the running of the Roman Empire more broadly. | Running Rome and its Empire The Places of Roman Governance

Filippo Sassetti on Trade Institutions and Empire

Filippo Sassetti on Trade Institutions and Empire

The Florentine traveler merchant and academician Filippo Sassetti was one of the premier economic thinkers of the late Renaissance. Well known for his ethnographic observations Sassetti was also a commercial writer of the highest caliber—at once an original thinker and a remarkable witness to how Europeans even at the margins of empire were beginning to reconceptualize power and wealth. Unique among commercial theorists of the period Sassetti offers a first-hand perspective on commerce in both the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. This volume translates (for the first time) the Discourse on Mediterranean Trade and a selection of the principal Indian Letters with extensive historical notes. These are preceded by a lengthy essay positioning Sassetti as a figure in late Renaissance political economy. It makes the case that Sassetti was an early theorist of what might be termed the pragmatic tradition of free trade—in his case a project linked to his analysis of commercial institutions in the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. Provoking an invaluable overview of trade in the Indian Ocean in the late sixteenth century this volume is an excellent specialist text for postgraduate students and professional historians. | Filippo Sassetti on Trade Institutions and Empire

Nostalgias for Homer in Greek Literature of the Roman Empire

Nostalgias for Homer in Greek Literature of the Roman Empire

This volume investigates how versions of Trojan War narratives written in Greek in the first through fifth centuries C. E. created nostalgias for audiences. In ancient education the Iliad and the Odyssey were used as models through which students learned Greek language and literature. This combined with the ruling elite’s financial encouragement of re-creations of the Greek literature of the past created a culture of nostalgia. This book explores the different responses to this climate particularly in the case of the third-century C. E. poet Quintus of Smyrna’s epic Posthomerica. Positioning itself as a sequel to the Iliad and a prequel to the Odyssey the Posthomerica is unique in its middle-of-the-road response to nostalgia for Homer’s epics. This book contrasts Quintus’ poem with other responses to nostalgia for Homeric narratives in Greek literature of the Roman Empire. Some authors contradict pivotal events of the Iliad and Odyssey such as the first-century orator Dio Chrysostom’s Trojan Speech which claims that the Trojan hero Hector did not in fact die contrary to the Iliad’s account. Others re-created Homeric narratives but did not contradict them improvising some elements and adding others. Quintus strikes a compromise in his epic re-imagining Homeric narrative by introducing new characters and scenarios while at the same time retaining the Iliad and Odyssey’s aesthetics. Nostalgias for Homer in Greek Literature of the Roman Empire is of interest to students and scholars working on Homeric reception and the Greek literature of the Roman Empire as well as those interested in classical literature and reception more broadly.

The Fall of an Empire the Birth of a Nation National Identities in Russia

The Fall of an Empire the Birth of a Nation National Identities in Russia

This title was first published in 2000: A collection of articles by Russian and Western experts on nationalism. The objective of the work is to give an overview of the new Russian identity-building and of the historical continuities that lie behind this ongoing process. The main theme is the shift from empire and imperial consciousness characteristic both of the imperial Russia and the Soviet Union towards a new identity as a nation state. Ultra-nationalism and the threat posed by ultra-right extremists groups is also among the most important themes in the book. The rising nationalist extremism is one of the several major projects that seek to redefine the Russion nationhood. The ultra-nationalist challenge is examined in several articles; the anatomy of extreme Russian nationalism is also examined through a case study of a small militant group of extremists. | The Fall of an Empire the Birth of a Nation National Identities in Russia

Julian the Apostate in Byzantine Culture

Julian the Apostate in Byzantine Culture

Julian the last pagan emperor of the Roman empire died in war in 363. In the Byzantine (that is the Eastern Roman) empire the figure of Julian aroused conflicting reactions: antipathy towards his apostasy but also admiration for his accomplishments particularly as an author writing in Greek. Julian died young and his attempt to reinstate paganism was a failure but paradoxically his brief and unsuccessful policy resonated for centuries. This book analyses Julian from the perspectives of Byzantine Culture. The history of his posthumous reputation reveals differences in cultural perspectives and it is most intriguing with regard to the Eastern Roman empire which survived for almost a millennium after the fall of the Western empire. Byzantine culture viewed Julian in multiple ways first as the legitimate emperor of the enduring Roman empire; second as the author of works written in Greek and handed down for generations in the language that scholars the Church and the state administration all continued to use; and third as an open enemy of Christianity. Julian the Apostate in Byzantine Culture will appeal to both researchers and students of Byzantine perspectives on Julian Greco-Roman Paganism and the Later Roman Empire as well as those interested in Byzantine Historiography.

Modern legal history is increasingly interested in exploring the development of legal systems from novel and nuanced approaches.

Russian Pogroms and Jewish Revolution 1905 Class Ethnicity Autocracy in the First Russian Revolution

This book based on extensive original research examines the widespread and violent pogroms against Jews which took place in the Russian Empire in 1905. It briefly surveys the earlier history of Jews in the Russian Empire and the discriminatory policies against them. The work outlines the extent of the killings and lootings in 1905 explores the role of the authorities who were often neutral or complicit in the violence and highlights Jewish self-defense measures. It relates the pogroms to the place of the Jews in Russian urban and rural life to social change and modernisation and to the revolutionary events of 1905 in which Jews played a prominent role and during which calls for ethnic self-determination arose among many nationalities of the Russian Empire most broadly and consequentially among Jews. Overall the book views the pogroms as a consequence not only of Russian antisemitism but of the broader revolutionary breakdown of Russian state and society in 1905. | Russian Pogroms and Jewish Revolution 1905 Class Ethnicity Autocracy in the First Russian Revolution

Remodelling to Prepare for Independence The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46

Remodelling to Prepare for Independence The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46

Remodelling to Prepare for Independence: The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46 illuminates the implications of the USA’s final phase of colonial rule in the Philippine Islands. It explores the Filipino side of decolonisation and the management of the built environment in the years immediately prior to self-rule. This book shakes off the collaboration vs. resistance paradigm that empire histories generally follow and consequently yields an original vantage point to comprehend transition within an Asian society in the years immediately prior to during and after World War Two. This will not only deepen insight of the American Empire but also grants the opportunity to tie Philippine political-cultural change to the global history of urban planning’s advancement. Accordingly it opens a new window to rethink Filipino ethno-history and societal evolution alongside the opportunity to compare the Philippines with other nations that undertook planning projects as part of their decolonisation process and early-postcolonial advancement. The book utilises theoretical frames in order to help creatively excavate the era 1935–46 for the purpose of not just revealing what public works occurred but to also uncover what those projects meant to the Commonwealth Government the BPW’s staff and the public who benefitted from public works projects. The book will be relevant to students and researchers of Urban History Asian and American (Empire) History and Imperial and Colonial Studies. Architects planners and members of the public who are interested in the form and meaning of urban environments designed/constructed in the past will also find the publication to be of great interest. | Remodelling to Prepare for Independence The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46

The Geopolitics of China's Belt and Road Initiative

The Geopolitics of China's Belt and Road Initiative

This book argues that China’s Belt and Road Initiative should be seen more as a geopolitical project and less as a global economic project with China aiming to bring about a new Chinese-led international order. It contends that China’s international approach has two personas – an aggressive one focusing on a nineteenth century-style territorial empire which is applied to Taiwan and the seas adjacent to China; and a new-style persona based on relationship building with the political elites of countries in the Global South relying on large scale infrastructure projects to help secure the elites in power a process often leading to lower democratic participation and weaker governance structures. It also shows how this relationship building with elites leads to an acceptance of Chinese norms and to changes in states’ geopolitical preferences and foreign policies to align them with China’s geopolitical interests with states thereby joining China’s emerging international order. Overall the book emphasizes that this new-style non-territorial “empire” building based on relationships is a major new development in international relations not fully recognized and accounted for by international relations experts and theorists. | The Geopolitics of China's Belt and Road Initiative

Transnationalism and Migration in Global Korea History Politics and Sociology 1910 to the Present

Contrary to the image of Korea as a largely self-contained country until its economy became global during the 1990s this book shows that transnationalism has firmly been part of modern Korea’s national experience throughout its existence. The volume portrays Korea’s frequent transnational entanglements with other nations in East Asia and the West from the start of its annexation into the Empire of Japan in 1910 to the present day. It explores how modern Korea negotiated its complicated colonial relations with imperial Japan and its political and economic relations with the West in meeting the challenges of the globalized world. Early chapters cover the origins of Korea’s democratic republicanism among Korean immigrants in the United States the Royal-Dutch oil industry in Korea and prisons in the Japanese empire. From the latter half of the twentieth century to the present the book probes Cold War politics between Korea and Europe transnational Korean communities in China Japan the Russian Far East and the West and ethnic Korean returnees from the Russian Far East. With contributions from leading international scholars this collection’s attention to modern Korean history economy gender studies and migration is ideal for upper-level undergraduates and postgraduates. | Transnationalism and Migration in Global Korea History Politics and Sociology 1910 to the Present
