Viac o knihe

Exploring the intricate relationship between nations and empires, this book challenges the notion that nation-states replaced empires. It argues that empires have persisted alongside nation-states, influencing global dynamics throughout the industrial era and into modern times. The author highlights the imperial nature of both World Wars and examines how empires, particularly those of the USA, Russia, and China, continue to shape political landscapes. This thought-provoking analysis is essential for anyone interested in the sociopolitical forces that define the contemporary world.
