Over the past two decades or so, medieval geopolitics have come to
occupy an increasingly prominent place in the collective
imagination-and writings-of International Relations scholars.
Although these accounts differ significantly in terms of their
respective analytical assumptions, theoretical concerns and
scholarly contributions, they share at least one common - arguably,
defining - element: a belief that a careful study of medieval
geopolitics can help resolve a number of important debates
surrounding the nature and dynamics of "international" relations.
There are however three generic weaknesses characterizing the
extant literature: a general failure to examine the existing
historiography of medieval geopolitics, an inadequate account of
the material and ideational forces that create patterns of violent
conflict in medieval Latin Christendom, and a failure to take
seriously the role of "religion" in the geopolitical relations of
medieval Latin Christendom. This book seeks to address these
shortcomings by providing a theoretically guided and historically
sensitive account of the geopolitical relations of medieval Latin
Christendom. It does this by developing a theoretically informed
picture of medieval geopolitics, theorizing the medieval-to-modern
transition in a new and fruitful way, and suggesting ways in which
a systematic analysis of medieval geopolitical relations can
actually help to illuminate a range of contemporary geopolitical
phenomena. Finally, it develops an historically sensitive
conceptual framework for understanding geopolitical conflict and
war more generally.
