ABSTRACTAre there recurring historical dynamics and patterns that can help us understand today's power transitions and struggles over international order? What can we learn from the past? Are the cycles of rise and decline of power and international order set to continue? Robert Gilpin's classic work, War and Change in World Politics offers a sweeping and influential account of the rise and decline of leading states and the international orders they create. Now, some thirty years on, this volume brings together an outstanding collection of scholars to reflect on Gilpin's grand themes of power and change in world politics. The chapters engage with theoretical ideas that shape the way we think about great powers, with the latest literature on the changing US position in the global system, and with the challenges to the existing order that are being generated by China and other rising non-Western states."

"Law and Order in Anglo Saxon England explores English legal culture and practice across the Anglo Saxon period, from the pre-Christian laws enshrined in writing by King Aethelberht of Kent in c.600 to the Norman Conquest of 1066. The book is focus is the maintenance of order. What constituted good order. What forms of wrongdoing were threatening to it. What role kings, lords, communities, and individuals were expected to play in maintaining it, and how that worked in practice. Its core argument is that the Anglo Saxons had a coherent, stable, and enduring legal order that lacks modern analogies. It was neither state like nor stateless and needs to be understood on its own terms rather than as a variant or hybrid of these models. The book elucidates a distinctively early medieval understanding of the tension between the interests of individuals and communities, and a vision of how that tension ought to be managed that, strikingly, treats strongly libertarian and communitarian features as complementary. Potentially violent, honour-focused feuding was an integral aspect of legitimate legal practice throughout the period but so too was fearsome punishment for forms of wrongdoing judged socially threatening. The book charts the development of kings involvement in law, in terms both of their authority to legislate and their ability to influence local practice, thereby presenting a picture of increasingly ambitious and effective royal legal innovation that relied more on the cooperation of local communal assemblies than kings sparse and patchy network of administrative officials."

"This title was first published in 2002. Questioning the most fundamental assumptions of international relations theory, this absorbing work compares and contrasts domestic and international politics regarding the issues of order and disorder taking into account aspects of the two realms which have been neglected by scholarship until now. Challenging the view that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the absence of a world government and international anarchy and that durable and genuine cooperation among sovereign states becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible, under the circumstances, this text is suitable for upper-level undergraduates, graduates and scholars of international relations."
