Description

How can we understand long-term change in world politics better? Based on readings of thinkers as diverse as Habermas, Foucault, and Luhmann, the contributors to this volume propose a framework for understanding such change in terms of social evolution.

They show that processes of social learning and unlearning are key to understanding the long-term historical evolution of complex societies, and propose to approach these with the core concepts of autonomization, hierarchical complexity, and co-evolution.

Four case studies illustrate this social evolutionary perspective to the study of world politics, examining the evolution of forms of organizing political authority, of conflicts, of diplomacy, of law as boundary condition.

The Social Evolution of World Politics offers profound insights into the mechanisms of change in world politics, making it an essential read for those interested in the complexities of social evolution and its impact on global affairs.
