Kees van der Pijl argues [in favour of] a reformulation of international relations theory and history as a whole. A work of scholarship, imagination, cogency and irreducible humanistic optimism.' Professor Fred Halliday, London School of Economics'An intellectual tour de force! This important, innovative and insightful book challenges the dominant Euro-centric and state-centric approach to international relations.' Susanne Soederberg, Canada Research Chair, Department of Development Studies, Queen's University, Canada. 'A masterful work of historical materialism.' Ronnie D. Lipschutz, Professor of Politics, University of California, Santa Cruz'Kees presents his analysis without being encumbered by a nation-state centric framework. His highly accessible tour-de-force is rich, provocative and interesting.' George Wright, Professor Emeritus, Department of Political Science, California State University'Tracing the history of &quote;foreign relations; Kees van der Pijl shows that they are inscribed in daily life. Nomads, Empires, States is an artful study that redefines the field of international studies.' James H. Mittelman, Professor, American University, Washington, DC This book breaks new ground in the way we think about international relations theory.Kees van der Pijl argues that by making the;nation-state; the focus of international relations, the discipline has become Euro-centric and a-historical. Theories of imperialism and historic civilizations, and their relation to world order, have been discarded. With more than half the world's population living in cities, with unprecedented levels of migration, global politics is present on every street corner. The international is no longer only a balance of power among states, but includes tribal relations making a comeback in various ways. Outlining a new approach to IR theory, the book makes a case for a re-reading of world history in terms of foreign relations, and shows what it reveals about both our past and our future.

How important has the sea been in the development of human history? Very important indeed is the conclusion of this ground-breaking four volume work. The books bring together the world's leading maritime historians, who address the question of what difference the sea has made in relation to around 250 situations ranging from the earliest times to the present. They consider, across the entire world, subjects related to human migration, trade, economic development, warfare, the building of political units including states and empires, the dissemination of ideas, culture and religion, and much more, showing how the sea was crucial to all these aspects of human development.
The Sea in History - The Ancient World ranges very widely in its coverage, beginning with pre-historicalmaritime activity and going on to cover not only the classical Greek and Roman Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds but also Africa, Asia and the Americas. Fascinating subjects covered include the migration of the Taíno people in the pre-historic Caribbean, the Athenian maritime empire at its height, the port of Alexandria in classical times, and ships, sailors and kingdoms in ancient SoutheastAsia.

25 of the contributions are in English; 18 are in French.

Ce quatrième ouvrage de la série « Conquête de la steppe » présente de nouvelles études d’archéologie, de géoarchéologie et d’anthropologie issues d’un important programme de prospection de la zone steppique de la Syrie centrale à l’est de Hama, qui s’est déroulé de 1995 à 2010. Les périodes dont il est question ici vont du PPNB à l’époque contemporaine (VIIIe millénaire av. J.-C.-xxie s. ap. J.-C.). L’adaptation de l’homme à l’environnement est abordée du point de vue de l’acquisition et du stockage de l’eau en milieu aride, grâce aux citernes pluviales, et à travers deux études de cas : celle d’un village du PPNB et celle de deux années pluviométriques extrêmes. Une partie des articles (céramique, monnaies, monuments religieux) éclaire d’un nouveau jour la définition du territoire régional, durant l’Antiquité et par la suite. Des questions de topographie historique sont aussi abordées grâce à la publication de nouvelles inscriptions. Enfin, plusieurs contributions concernent les formes de l’habitat, aussi bien les résidences luxueuses des propriétaires terriens (des époques omeyyade et contemporaine) que les villages byzantins et les processus de sédentarisation à l’époque contemporaine.
