An exploration of the ways in which ancient theories of empire
can inform our understanding of present-day international
relations, Enduring Empire engages in a serious discussion of
empire as it relates to American foreign policy and global
politics.
The imperial power dynamics of ancient Athens and Rome provided
fertile ground for the deliberations of many classical thinkers who
wrote on the nature of empire: contemplating political sovereignty,
autonomy, and citizenship as well as war, peace, and civilization
in a world where political boundaries were strained and contested.
The contributors to this collection prompt similar questions with
their essays and promote a serious contemporary consideration of
empire in light of the predominance of the United States and of the
doctrine of liberal democracy.
Featuring essays from some of the leading thinkers in the fields
of political science, philosophy, history, and classics, Enduring
Empire illustrates how lessons gleaned from the Athenian and Roman
empires can help us to understand the imperial trajectory of global
politics today.
