ISBN: 159451156X ISBN-13: 9781594511561 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $247.00 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: October 2005 Annotation: Can we predict the world's political future? The surprising wealth of research critiqued in this book suggests that earlier assessments of world trends pointed too pessimistically toward the likelihood of a future repressive world-state. Offering an impressive analysis of long-term historical patterns, population, and social changes, Graber presents a fresh look at current trends. His long-term evidence shows why the League of Nations and the United Nations are to be taken seriously as new postconquest models of political evolution. The tables, data, review, and critique of previous historical research make this an essential guide to scholarly understanding of our political future. |
