In the period from 1500 to 1800 the problem of violence
necessitated asking fundamental questions and formulating answers
about the most basic forms of human organisation and interactions.
Violence spoke to critical issues such as the problem of civility
in society, the nature of political sovereignty and the power of
the state, the legitimacy of conquest and subjugation, the
possibilities of popular resistance, and the manifestations of
ethnic and racial unrest. It also provided the raw material for
profound meditations on humanity and for examining our relationship
to the divine and natural worlds. The third volume of The Cambridge
World History of Violence examines a world in which global empires
were consolidated and expanded, and in which civilisations for the
first time linked to each other by trans-oceanic contacts and a
sophisticated world trade system.
