About this title

Synopsis

This book studies the structural inequalities between states as they evolve and influence the political process, analyzing various forms of political violence, the dissolution of states, and the sources of cooperation between states. The ultimate genesis of democracy is shown to be a consequence of the processes detailed in the book.

From the Back Cover

"There is a lot here to sink your teeth into. This examination of inequality and how it shapes so many aspects of international relations and world politics is innovative and path-breaking."--Journal of Peace Research
