The World Transformed: Modern Civilization Since 1648 is an
innovative text that combines key topics in world history and
western civilization. Rather than approaching history and
civilization as a purely chronological study, the book considers
the differing approaches to life and politics that prevailed at
various times and in various places. Beginning with the rise of the
sovereign state, the 12 chapters explore intellectual
transformation in 17th and 18th Century Europe, globalization and
war in the early modern period, traditional East Asian states,
Muslim empires, and the emergence of the nation-state. Students
learn about political transformation and modernizing forces in the
19th Century, the modernization of warfare, and challenges to
western modernity and the developing world. The second edition
features a greater focus on world history and new material that
addresses contemporary issues and modern health crises such as the
Ebola epidemic, AIDS crisis, and coronavirus pandemic. The text
includes a new index to assist students with referencing materials
and a redesigned interior. Helping students better understand what
it means to be a part of modern civilization and have a modern
worldview, The World Transformed is well-suited to classes in world
history, western or modern civilization, and the history of
globalization.
Agreements between nations constitute the fundamental framework for
the ordering of international affairs; and their successes and
failures have led to some of the great turning points in modern
history. The result of a unique collaboration by historians and
political scientists, this book delineates, defines and assesses
the idea of pacts and alliances as a key model of political
organisation. Anchored by leading academics in the field, it
presents numerous case studies covering a broad chronological
sweep. Through theoretical and empirical methodology, the
contributors address pacts and alliances from the fifteenth century
onwards including, among others, the Korean-American and
Moscow-Cairo alliances, the Sevres Pact, Turkey's accession to NATO
and US alliances around the world. Through a close reading of these
historical diplomatic relationships, fundamental yet relatively
unaddressed research questions are developed and explored. First,
what are the common denominators shared by successful alliances?
Second, why do pacts and alliances disintegrate? Third, is the
eventual demise of pacts and alliances inevitable? Finally, what
are the implications of these issues on pact and alliance making
today? This is the first volume to address this wide range of
issues, and to bring together researchers and theorists from the
historical and political disciplines to provide original and
groundbreaking theories of diplomacy. Together, these case studies
explore why alliances succeed, why they fail and why it matters.
Pacts and Alliances in History is therefore not only important
reading for the next generation of policymakers, but will also help
frame scholars' enquiries as they try to understand key events in
international relations and history.
