Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. The book presents a comprehensive account of major historical events and examines the dynamic relationship between history and international relations in shaping global geopolitics. Comprising eleven chapters, it seeks to reintroduce history into the study of international relations…by emphasizing past political developments and their enduring legacies in order to better understand the contemporary geopolitical landscape. The book adopts a conceptual framework that highlights the interdependence between history and international relations, drawing on key events such as the Thirty Years' War, World War I & II, the Cold War, the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), revolutions in the former Soviet states, the Arab Spring, the War on Terror, the Russia-Ukraine war, and the Arab-Israeli conflict-each of which has shaped and continues to reshape the global order. The Thirty Years' War, World Wars, and the Cold War fundamentally defined patterns of conflict and peace, the legacies of which remain relevant today. During the Cold War, the emergence of NAM marked an alternative global order with a renewed discourse of Global South today. The revolutions in the erstwhile Soviet states and the Arab Spring reflected popular demands for democracy and the removal of long-standing authoritarian, ineffective, or externally aligned regimes. The War on Terror in Afghanistan and Iraq are rooted in historical contexts-Afghanistan's experience in the Cold War era and the long-standing adversarial relationship between the United States and Iraq. Similarly, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict is closely connected to Ukraine's gradual orientation toward NATO membership, while the violent confrontation between Israel and Hamas is embedded in the protracted Arab-Israel conflict. Each chapter includes an abstract, a detailed analysis of key arguments, and a concluding assessment that evaluates the consequences, impacts, and legacies of the discussed events. The final chapter synthesizes the insights from all chapters and demonstrates how historical analysis enhances the understanding of both past and present geopolitical realities. The study employs the historical method to interpret international relations and draws on a wide range of sources, including government and institutional reports, scholarly books and articles, newspapers, and online resources. Sanjay Kumar Pradhan is Associate Professor of International Relations and Head of the Department of International Relations, School of Liberal Studies, Pandit Deendayal Energy University, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. He holds an M.A., M.Phil. (Course work) and Ph.D. degree from the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. With nearly two decades of academic experience, he has been teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate students while guiding doctoral research scholars. His scholarly contributions include two books, forty-seven research papers, and five book chapters, which are mostly single-authored and SCOPUS- indexed. His work has appeared internationally-including with publishers like Springer-as well as in reputed journals such as Economic & Political Weekly, International Journal of Politics and Security, Asian Studies, Asian Profile, World Affairs, and Indian Foreign Affairs Journal. He has also led an ICSSR-supported major research project on the International Solar Alliance. His research interests span the history and theory of international relations, energy security and geopolitics, climate change mitigation, African issues and development, and diasporic communities.
