“Empires and
Order”
increasing
proportion is sufficiently serious so as to command the interest of
scholars.
Nonetheless, it must be pointed out that even the best of the recent
work
often suffers from a lack of historical perspective. Clearly, the time
seems right for systematic scholarly examination and analysis of these
concepts qua concepts and of specific historical
episodes/manifestations
of globalization, empire, and imperialism across space and time.
