Robert Crowcroft has assembled a world-class, international cast of
outstanding scholars and international figures to produce a
stimulating collection of essays on applied history and policy
making. With contributors such as Philip Bobbitt, Margaret
MacMillan, and Jeremy Black, this collection of essays addresses
some of the most important geopolitical challenges confronting the
world today. From reconstructing collapsed political regimes to
security competition in the China Seas and the evolution of
Salafi-Jihadi ideology, it explores a range of statecraft, policy,
and strategy. The essays span a number of policy areas and
historical problems, tackling important questions about what
historians do (and should do), and considering the nature and
limits of historical judgement. With some examining how applied
history can be used to rethink contemporary challenges, others
explore how it has been used and abused in the past. Making a
splash in intellectual debate by making a definitive case for
Applied History, this book demonstrates that a knowledge of the
past, and the insight it provides, is imperative to effective
statecraft.
