Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Mainstream International Relations' (hereafter IR) penchant to debate power within statist frames is well known. But in the din of conformism, a pervasive manifestation of power often overlooked imperialism. Intriguingly, despite being the most enduring political system to have existed in most parts of the world, the empire remains an understudied subject within IR. 1 The focus has primarily been on the Westphalian order and the manner in which relations between sovereign states have evolved since the 17th century. The retrospective interpretation of international history has meant a diminishing interest in time periods more distant from the one we live in. Consequently, the ancient and medieval periods appear either irrelevant to or unrepresentative of contemporary concerns within the discipline.
