THE HISTORY OF THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE (All 6 Volumes)

Edward Gibbon

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

Edward Gibbon's monumental work, "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," spans six volumes and meticulously chronicles the complex socio-political dynamics that led to the disintegration of one of history's greatest empires. Gibbon employs an eloquent and sophisticated literary style, interweaving narrative history with incisive analysis while incorporating vast historical sources. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century historiographical developments, the work embodies the Enlightenment ideals of reason and inquiry, as Gibbon critically examines the interplay of moral and societal decay amidst rising barbarian influences and the transformative impacts of early Christianity. Gibbon, a British historian and Member of Parliament, drew upon his classical education and extensive travels throughout Europe to provide both depth and nuance to his historical narratives. The book reflects his fascination with the causes of empire, as well as his personal belief in reason and skepticism towards dogmatic religion. Gibbon's experiences and intellectual pursuits, including his controversial views on Christianity's role in the empire's demise, are palpable throughout this ambitious investigation. Readers looking for a profound understanding of the mechanisms behind the rise and fall of civilizations will find in Gibbon's work an indispensable resource. His blend of engaging prose and rigorous scholarship makes this history not only informative but also a compelling read, appealing to both historians and general readers alike. "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" is a cornerstone of Western historical literature that remains relevant and provocative today.

European Integration...

Andreas Kellerhals, Tobias...

With the White Paper on the Future of Europe, the European Commission had launched a debate on fundamental reforms of the Union structures in 2017. A total of five reform scenarios ranged from a reduction and focusing of the Union’s competences to increased integration in the sense of a United States of Europe. However, the White Paper did not have any consequences; none of the reform scenarios presented was implemented. However, current global challenges in the areas of health, climate change and energy resources as well as the shift in the global balance of power and related security issues demonstrate the increasing importance of a strong and united Europe. The idea of an “ever closer union”, as laid down in the preamble of the 1992 EU Treaty, could experience a renaissance. Against this background, the 13th Network Europe Conference addressed the importance of the integration project in times of global crises and the challenges in various policy areas, as well as the EU’s relations with its eastern and southern neighbors and its role vis-à-vis global actors such as China and Russia. This publication contains the conference contributions.

How States Die - Membership and...

Douglas Lemke

When states die, there are massive consequences. Somalia's death in 1991 created a safe haven for criminal non-state actors and has unsettled the Horn of Africa for decades. When the Iraqi state was dismantled in 2003, a similar set of consequences plagued the Middle East and the international system more broadly.In How States Die, Douglas Lemke provides an analysis of this phenomenon by reconceptualizing the definitions of the state and state death. A state exists, according to Lemke, whenever a set of state-like political entities exercise control over a populated territory. This includes both sovereign states and "territorial contenders," which lack formal diplomatic recognition. Conceiving statehood in this way vastly increases the population of states that have experienced state death, which casts new light on the phenomenon. This increased range not only expands the list of ways states can die; it also provides insights into whether diplomatic recognition is associated with longer life and shows that state strength is not related to state death. Similarly, in contrast to the conventional wisdom, victories in conflict do not coincide with longer state survival. State death is one of the central questions within international relations, and Lemke's reformulation of what a state is will transform our understanding of how and why these deaths happen.
