This study focuses on Empires, from an economic historical
perspective. In doing so, it relates current debates in
international relations (IR) and politics to the vexed legacy of
empires in the past. The book includes analyses of the comparative
scholarly literature on Empire in Antiquity, and Empire in the
Early Modern and Modern Ages, asking the question if the United
Sates is an Empire, and if China an emerging Empire. It contributes
to the field given its interdisciplinarity, bringing together both
historical and IR insights into world systems in times past. In
addition it draws out four key points of separateness between
pre-modern and modern empires, and emphases specific economic data.
Further to that, the book advances the notion of the emergence of
"empires from within" in the 21st century, that is nation-states
becoming more multi-ethnic while often stepping back from
globalization. And finally it offers future scenarios for the
evolution of empires in a Schumpeterian post-industrial world.
