What accounts for the rise of the state, the creation of the first global system, and the dominance of the West? The conventional answer asserts that superior technology, tactics, and institutions forged by Darwinian military competition gave Europeans a decisive advantage in war over other civilizations from 1500 onward. In contrast, Empires of the Weak argues that Europeans actually had no general military superiority in the early modern era. J. C. Sharman shows instead that European expansion from the late fifteenth to the late eighteenth centuries is better explained by deference to strong Asian and African polities, disease in the Americas, and maritime supremacy earned by default because local land-oriented polities were largely indifferent to war and trade at sea. Europeans were overawed by the mighty Eastern empires of the day, which pioneered key military innovations and were the greatest early modern conquerors. Against the view that the Europeans won for all time, Sharman contends that the imperialism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was a relatively transient and anomalous development in world politics that concluded with Western losses in various insurgencies. If the twenty-first century is to be dominated by non-Western powers like China, this represents a return to the norm for the modern era. Bringing a revisionist perspective to the idea that Europe ruled the world due to military dominance, Empires of the Weak demonstrates that the rise of the West was an exception in the prevailing world order.

This book examines world politics through the lens of diplomatic practice. It argues that many global phenomena of our time, from the making of international law to the constitution of international public power, through humanitarianism and the maintenance of global hierarchies, are made possible and shaped by evolving forms of diplomacy. The study of diplomacy is largely dominated by firsthand accounts and historical treaties, with little effort at theoretical discussion. This book shows how diplomatic studies can benefit from more explicit theorizing, and argues that the study of world politics should pay more attention to what goes on in the diplomatic 'engine room' of international politics.

S'inspirant de l'exemple d'un petit tailleur roumain qui avait réussi à prendre les "vraies mesures" de Khroutchev, André Fontaine a cherché à prendre celles des géants passablement essouflés certes, mais encore pleins de vigueur, qui dominent la scène mondiale et vont continuer de le faire pendant le dernier quart de ce siècle. L'Europe ayant perdu la voix - pourquoi ? -, la Chine, nouvelle Sparte, n'ayant pas fini de bâtir sa puissance, l'étrange ménage soviéto-américain, tout en se chamaillant à qui mieux mieux, fait toujours plus ou moins la loi. Mais les conflits du tiers monde, comme l'instabilité en Méditerranée mettent à chaque instant la détente à l'épreuve, tandis que la course aux armements, le désordre monétaire, les pénuries énergétiques et alimentaires, l'explosion démographique, le déchaînement de la violence, la destruction de l'environnement, l'immoralité shakespearienne de la politique font planer à l'horizon de l'an 2000 des nuages encore plus sombres. L'humanité, si elle veut se tirer d'affaire, doit tourner le dos à la loi de la jungle et au gaspillage, et trouver à des problèmes qui sont de plus en plus planétaires des solutions également planétaires. La France et l'Europe ont leur rôle à jouer dans cette grande remise en cause. En 270 pages, un inventaire sans complaisance, qui ne laisse pas grand-chose dans l'ombre.
