Empires have been the commonest form of political organization for
most of recorded history. How should we best understand them? What
are their principles and how do they differ from other political
forms, such as the nation-state? What sort of relations between
rulers and ruled do they express? Do they, as many have held,
follow a particular course of "rise, decline, and fall"? How and
why do empires end, and with what consequences? Is the era of
empire over? This book explores these questions through a
fascinating analysis of the major empires of world history and the
present. It pays attention not just to the modern overseas empires
of the Europeans, but also to the ancient empires of the Middle
East and Mediterranean, the Islamic empires of the Arabs, Mughals,
and Ottomans, and the two-thousand-year Chinese Empire. As Kumar
shows, understanding empires helps us understand better the
politics of our own times.
