This groundbreaking book develops a new periodisation for understanding contemporary international history. It challenges West-centric approaches by setting up timelines appropriate for a global approach to International Relations.

Shifting the focus beyond great power wars, it incorporates economic, societal and environmental changes to redefine what constitutes significant historical moments for both the Global North and South. It uncovers pivotal turning points in the 1840s, 1970s and now, that highlight the formation, dominance, unravelling and replacement of the Western world order. It offers new foundations for understanding both how we arrived at where we stand today and what might lie ahead.

Timelines for Modernity by Barry Buzan presents a fresh perspective, encouraging a broader examination of global influences on historical development.
