The idea of civilization recurs frequently in reflections on
international politics. However, International Relations academic
writings on civilization have failed to acknowledge the major
20th-century analysis that examined the processes through which
Europeans came to regard themselves as uniquely civilized - Norbert
Elias's On the Process of Civilization. This book provides a
comprehensive exploration of the significance of Elias's
reflections on civilization for International Relations. It
explains the working principles of an Eliasian, or
process-sociological, approach to civilization and the global order
and demonstrates how the interdependencies between state-formation,
colonialism and an emergent international society shaped the
European 'civilizing process'.
