Since the end of the Cold War, analysts of international politics have been focusing far greater attention on issues of change. In the course of these analyses, it has become increasingly clear to specialists - from many contrasting viewpoints - that any understanding of large-scale political change must encompass far longer timescales than has been usual in the study of world politics, and has to incorporate a multi-disciplinary perspective. This is the first book offering an overview of the whole range of long term analyses in international relations, it evaluates and draws on relevant theoretical approaches both in other humanities and social sciences - such as sociology, history, anthropology and archaeology - and recent progress in evolutionary theory and the mathematical study of complexity. Introducing new approaches and a new spistemological framework, a new theory of long-term world political change is set out, building on the strengths of previous studies. This is then applied to the latest available historical, archaeological and anthropological data for changing forms of political organizations, ranging from the earliest human societies to the fast-changing world of the late twentieth century. The resulting analysis is a reinterpretation of the process of global political change in the past and in the present, which both support and challenges perspectives based on other forms of analysis and opens new areas of enquiry for international relations.

Discussions of religion in international relations have often focused narrowly on religious fundamentalism and on the potentially negative consequences of religious differences. This book attempts to take a more balanced and much broader view of the subject, bringing together new research-based studies by specialists from international relations, history and theology. Case-studies and thematic analyses examine both seldom-discussed issues - such as the political consequences of large-scale religious change - and review old themes in new ways.

This book brings together new archaeological, historical and palaeoecological approaches to the transition from the Romano-British to medieval Celtic economy between the fourth and ninth centuries AD. The articles include a reassessment of the end of the Romano-British economy, suggesting that the conventional interpretation — a sudden collapse in production in the early fifth century —is incorrect; pollen analysis is a key approach in understanding the end of the agricultural economy,and here, for the first time, all relevant pollen sequences are catalogued and discussed. There is a new research into imported pottery and glass and inscribed stone monuments, and the contacts which brought imports into Britain and Ireland are reevaluated from new evidence which includes archaeological material from shipwrecks of AD 400-600.: K.R.
