Mountain agriculture is a socially and culturally unique system, but also a regionally important economic sector. In a globalising world, it is clear that fertile areas on all continents will always be used to produce large quantities of agricultural products in order to feed the world and, increasingly, provide biomass as a source of energy. It is far less clear, however, how land use in steep and more peripheral regions will evolve. By definition, farmland in mountain areas is more difficult to work because of steep slopes and missing accessibility. Climate conditions and poor soil quality often add to these adverse conditions. Through overcoming limited views from one region only or from one discipline, this book intends to draw a first truly international perspective on the issue of mountain farming.

Distinguishing four sources of power - ideological, economic, military and political - this series traces their interrelations throughout human history. This fourth volume covers the period from 1945 to the present, focusing on the three major pillars of post-war global order: capitalism, the nation-state system and the sole remaining empire of the world, the United States. In the course of this period, capitalism, nation-states and empires interacted with one another and were transformed. Mann's key argument is that globalization is not just a single process, because there are globalizations of all four sources of social power, each of which has a different rhythm of development. Topics include the rise and beginnings of decline of the American Empire, the fall or transformation of communism (respectively, the Soviet Union and China), the shift from neo-Keynesianism to neoliberalism, and the three great crises emerging in this period - nuclear weapons, the great recession and climate change.

Christian Mann gibt einen Überblick über die antike Militärgeschichte von den homerischen Epen bis zur Spätantike. Behandelt werden Bewaffnung und Kampftaktiken der antiken Heere, vor allem aber die Stellung von Soldaten in der Gesellschaft sowie die ökonomische und kulturelle Dimension von Kriegführung. Im zweiten Teil erklärt der Autor verschiedene Forschungsansätze, etwa die klassische Schlachtengeschichte, die Sozialgeschichte der Soldaten oder die psychohistorische Erforschung von Kriegserfahrungen. Militärische Phänomene werden in ihrer Wechselwirkung mit gesellschaftlichen und ökonomischen Entwicklungen diskutiert und Strategien der Legitimation von Kriegen in der griechischen und römischen Kultur dargestellt. Den dritten Teil bildet eine ausgewählte, thematisch gegliederte Bibliographie.
