Empires - vast states of territories and people united by force and ambition - have dominated the political landscape for more than two millennia. "Empires in World History" departs from conventional European and nation-centered perspectives to take a remarkable look at how empires relied on diversity to shape the global order. Beginning with ancient Rome and China and continuing across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Africa, Jane Burbank and Frederick Cooper examine empires' conquests, rivalries, and strategies of domination - with an emphasis on how empires accommodated, created, and manipulated differences among populations. Burbank and Cooper examine Rome and China from the third century BCE, empires that sustained state power for centuries. They delve into the militant monotheism of Byzantium, the Islamic Caliphates, and the short-lived Carolingians, as well as the pragmatically tolerant rule of the Mongols and Ottomans, who combined religious protection with the politics of loyalty. Burbank and Cooper discuss the influence of empire on capitalism and popular sovereignty, the limitations and instability of Europe's colonial projects, Russia's repertoire of exploitation and differentiation, as well as the "empire of liberty" - devised by American revolutionaries and later extended across a continent and beyond. With its investigation into the relationship between diversity and imperial states, "Empires in World History" offers a fresh approach to understanding the impact of empires on the past and present.

原文摘录

Sustaining and expanding control depended not just on violence but on the ongoing linkage of human and economic resources to central power.
Roman's political and cultural innovations drew old and new elites into government and army.
The source of the magistrates' authority was election by Rome's soldier-citizens. By creating a body of citizens whose decisions were the source of law, Romans took sovereignty out of royal or celestial hands and located it in themselves.This radical move from kingship to republic was accompanied by measures designed to prevent a return to one-man rule.
Throughout the republic in practice adn in principle during later Roman history, the source of law was the Roman people....the approval of assemblies of citizens was essential to making a magistrate's proposal i... (查看原文)
和Colonialism in Question相比，着实是一本相对中规中矩的课本参考类作品，为了参考所以并没有针对empire提出什么新的分析视角，主要看了第一章和前现代的部分。不过研究做到这一步，读到这本书，倒是总算明白了Azoulay的Potential History到底在针对/反对什么样的历史范式，也又让我回头想了想自己长期对“全球”的抵触何在。回过头来可以把这两本书对读，并试问这些作者...和Colonialism in Question相比，着实是一本相对中规中矩的课本参考类作品，为了参考所以并没有针对empire提出什么新的分析视角，主要看了第一章和前现代的部分。不过研究做到这一步，读到这本书，倒是总算明白了Azoulay的Potential History到底在针对/反对什么样的历史范式，也又让我回头想了想自己长期对“全球”的抵触何在。回过头来可以把这两本书对读，并试问这些作者所谓的“帝国”是不是同一个东西，差异在哪里，历史学者可以从Azoulay这里学些什么，又不能学什么，不失为一种在看似没有对话的地方寻求对话的契机。(展开)
《世界帝国史：权力与差异政治》（Empires in World History, power and the politics of difference）一书由商务印书馆出版问世了，这本400多页的译著还散发着油墨的香气，编辑朋友便将它送给了我。也许是出于专业的敏感，作为常年研究拜占庭帝国历史的人，其特色鲜明的标题立...

本书意在梳理从罗马、中华帝国到今天的两千年间，Empire这一统治模式的演变与价值。研究主题: 帝国对内部不同人群的差异性政治，帝国统治的代理人，帝国间的竞争、模仿与变革，帝国的想像，权术的套路等。其实这些帝国史读物的初衷大同小异，在经历19-20世纪的暴力和大屠杀后，面对今天的诸多挑战，不同人群如何生活在一起？如何消弭人群间的冲突？在此范畴下，当重拾帝国的可资借鉴之处。

Burbank和Cooper的书。围绕political imagination和intermediary展开的帝国历史。上了一学期课觉得两位教授不在一起都对不起观众。
