Empires : A Historical and Political Sociology
Empires have been the commonest form of political organization for most of recorded history.How should we best understand them? What are their principles and how do they differ from other political forms, such as the nation-state?What sort of relations between rulers and ruled do they express?Do they, as many have held, follow a particular course of “rise, decline, and fall”?How and why do empires end, and with what consequences?Is the era of empire over? This book explores these questions through a fascinating analysis of the major empires of world history and the present.It pays attention not just to the modern overseas empires of the Europeans, but also to the ancient empires of the Middle East and Mediterranean, the Islamic empires of the Arabs, Mughals, and Ottomans, and the two-thousand-year Chinese Empire.As Kumar shows, understanding empires helps us understand better the politics of our own times.

Machiavelli : Political, Historical, and Literary Writings
Throughout his life, Niccolò Machiavelli was deeply invested in Florentine culture and politics.More than any other priority, his overriding central concerns, informed by his understanding of his city's history, were the present and future strength and independence of Florence.This volume highlights and explores this underappreciated aspect of Machiavelli's intellectual preoccupations. Transcending a narrow emphasis on his two most famous works of political thought, The Prince and the Discourses on Livy, Mark Jurdjevic and Meredith K.Ray instead present a wide sample of the many genres in which he wrote—not only political theory but also letters, poetry, plays, comedy, and, most substantially, history.Throughout his writing, the city of Florence was at the same time his principal subject and his principal context.Florentine culture and history structured his mental landscape, determined his idiom, underpinned his politics, and endowed everything he wrote with urgency and purpose. The Florentine particulars in Machiavelli's writing reveal aspects of his psyche, politics, and life that are little known outside of specialist circles—particularly his optimism and idealism, his warmth and humor, his capacity for affection and loyalty, and his stubborn, enduring republicanism.Machiavelli: Political, Historical, and Literary Writings has been carefully curated to reveal those crucial but lesser known aspects of Machiavelli's thought and to show how his major arguments evolved within a dynamic Florentine setting.

Are there historical examples of suppressed political opinions and their results?
Yes, there are many historical examples of suppressed political opinions and their results. For example, during the reign of Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union, any dissenting political opinions were brutally suppressed, leading to the imprisonment, exile, or execution of millions of people. In Nazi Germany, the suppression of political opinions led to the rise of a totalitarian regime and the persecution of millions of people, particularly Jews, in the Holocaust. These examples demonstrate the dangerous consequences of suppressing political opinions, including the erosion of human rights and the consolidation of power in the hands of a few.

Dialogue and Decolonization : Historical, Philosophical, and Political Perspectives
By bringing together philosophers whose work on political philosophy, intellectual history, and world philosophies pushes the boundaries of conventional scholarship, this collaborative collection opens up space in political philosophy for new approaches. Garrick Cooper, Sudipta Kaviraj, Charles W. Mills, and Sor-hoon Tan respond to the challenges James Tully raises for comparative political thought. Arranged around Tully’s opening chapter, they demonstrate the value of critical dialogue and point to the different attempts cultures make to understand their experiences.Through the use of methods from various disciplines and cultural contexts, each interlocutor exemplifies the transformative power of genuine democratic dialogue across philosophical traditions.Together they call for a radical reorientation of conceptual and intellectual readings from intellectual history including the Afro-modern political tradition, Indigenous philosophies, and the lived experiences of societies in Asia. This is an urgent methodological provocation for anyone interested in the ethical, conceptual, and political challenges of political thought today.

Political Corruption and Political Geography
First published 1997, this volume examines the way in which political corruption remains neglected as a matter of scholarly enquiry and research.There is still a powerful and traditional taboo which is quite out of the step with the topic’s real world significance and the increasing attention it receives from serious sections of the media.The book aims by systematic exposition and case study to break down that taboo and to demonstrate the topic’s importance within a framework provided by the discipline of geography.The novelty of the book is then that it considers a formerly unconsidered factor - corruption - as part of the world’s geography, as both part of the geographical context in which human activity takes place and as a spatially variable condition explicable at least in part in terms of other geographies.The conclusion is that much geographical scholarship ignores this factor at the risk of its credibility.

Was the political order of the Roman Principate democratic or monarchical?
The political order of the Roman Principate was monarchical. While the Principate maintained some democratic institutions, such as the Senate and popular assemblies, real power was concentrated in the hands of the emperor. The emperor held absolute authority over the military, administration, and legislation, and his position was not subject to regular elections or term limits. The Principate marked a shift away from the republican system of government and towards a more centralized, monarchical form of rule.
