商品描述
This book traces the interactions between nations, states and empires in the making of the modern world.
It is commonly assumed that nation states succeeded and replaced empires, relegating empires to the past: Hall argues that this is not the case. Empires have continued alongside nation states, shadowing them and overseeing them in the industrial era. The two world wars were imperial wars, rather than wars between nation states. Even after rapid decolonization in the 1950s and 1960s, empires persisted in the USA and the USSR. Furthermore, empires are not finished: the USA retains enormous power whilst Russia and China increasingly show imperial dispositions. Furthermore, empires and nation states do not exist in separate compartments-- rather, they often overlap. Consider the USA--at once highly nationalist and the greatest empire in the history of the world.
This highly original book will be essential reading for students and scholars in sociology and politics and for anyone interested in the political forces that have shaped, and continue to shape, the modern world.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書追溯了國家、州和帝國在現代世界形成過程中的互動。
人們普遍認為民族國家取代了帝國，將帝國 relegated 到過去；然而，Hall 主張這並非如此。帝國在民族國家之間持續存在，並在工業時代中影響和監督著它們。兩次世界大戰是帝國之戰，而非民族國家之間的戰爭。即使在1950年代和1960年代快速去殖民化之後，帝國在美國和蘇聯中仍然存在。此外，帝國並未結束：美國保留著巨大的權力，而俄羅斯和中國則日益顯示出帝國的傾向。此外，帝國和民族國家並非存在於不同的區隔中——相反，它們經常重疊。以美國為例——同時高度民族主義且是世界歷史上最大的帝國。
這本極具創見的書籍將是社會學和政治學學生及學者的必讀之作，並且對任何對塑造並持續影響現代世界的政治力量感興趣的人來說，都是重要的參考資料。
