TURCHIN, PETER

War And Peace And War: The Life Cycle of Imperial Nations

Upper Saddle River, New Jersey, U.S.A. Pi Press. 2005. (ISBN: 0131499963). Hb, 8vo. pp. 405, "Turchin argues that the key to the formation of an empire is a society’s capacity for collective action. He demonstrates that high levels of cooperation are found where people have to band together to fight off a common enemy, and that this kind of cooperation led to the formation of the Roman and Russian empires, and the United States. But as empires grow, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, conflict replaces cooperation, and dissolution inevitably follows. Eloquently argued and rich with historical examples, War and Peace and War offers a bold new theory about the course of world history.". Very Good/Very Good.

TURCHIN, PETER

War and peace and war. The life cycles of imperial nations

Pi Pr, 2005. Pp: 405. Why do some nations, initially small and insignificant, go on to build mighty empires, while most nations fail to do so? And why do those successful empire-builders always eventually lose their empires? Peter Turchin, a leading thinker in the highly technical field of population dynamics, lucidly presents for the first time an approach to understanding the world's great powers throughout history-with powerful implications for nations today. Turchin shows how the edges of empires are the crucibles of new long-lived empires and how processes of decline inevitably follow on a 1000 year cycle. This sweeping work of social science culminates with a crisp declaration of the general principles of the science of history. A short final section considers Tolstoy and free will in a world of historical cycles, and includes an incisive look at the U.S. now. ISBN: 9780131499966. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
