Imperial Development: The End of Empire? 330 $aAlthough empires have shaped the political development of virtually all the states of the modern world, "imperialism" has not figured largely in the mainstream of scholarly literature. This book seeks to account for the imperial phenomenon and to establish its importance as a subject in the study of the theory of world politics. Michael Doyle believes that empires can best be defined as relationships of effective political control imposed by some political societies-those called metropoles-on other political societies-called peripheries. To build an explanation of the birth, life, and death of empires, he starts with an overview and critique of the leading theories of imperialism. Supplementing theoretical analysis with historical description, he considers episodes from the life cycles of empires from the classical and modern world, concentrating on the nineteenth-century scramble for Africa. He describes in detail the slow entanglement of the peripheral societies on the Nile and the Niger with metropolitan power, the survival of independent Ethiopia, Bismarck's manipulation of imperial diplomacy for European ends, the race for imperial possession in the 1880's, and the rapid setting of the imperial sun. Combining a sensitivity to historical detail with a judicious search for general patterns, Empires will engage the attention of social scientists in many disciplines. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aSoils$zTexas$zMatagorda County$vMaps 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSoils 676 $a321.03 700 $aDoyle$b Michael W.$f1948-$0886257 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247903503316 996 $aEmpires$92366600 997 $aUNISA LEADER 00932nam0-2200265 --450 001 9910915000003321 005 20241212112139.0 100 $a20241212d1965----kmuy0itay5050 ba 101 0 $aeng 102 $aSU 105 $a 001yy 200 1 $aAdvances in pasture and hay meadow management$ecollection of papers prepared in 1944-1958 by the staff of the Meadow and Pasture section of the Leningrad Agricultural Institute$fEditor I.V.
