Andrew Linklater's The Problem of Harm in World Politics
(Cambridge, 2011) created a new agenda for the sociology of
states-systems. Violence and Civilization in the Western
States-Systems builds on the author's attempts to combine the
process-sociological investigation of civilizing processes and the
English School analysis of international society in a higher
synthesis. Adopting Martin Wight's comparative approach to
states-systems and drawing on the sociological work of Norbert
Elias, Linklater asks how modern Europeans came to believe
themselves to be more 'civilized' than their medieval forebears. He
investigates novel combinations of violence and civilization
through a broad historical scope from classical antiquity, Latin
Christendom and Renaissance Italy to the post-Second World War era.
This book will interest all students with an interdisciplinary
commitment to investigating long-term patterns of change in world
politics.
