Historical Dynamics - Why States Rise And Fall

by Peter Turchin

105,45€ + 10% CARD

free shipping

 Taking up the problem of territorial dynamics - why some polities at certain times expand and at other times contract - this book shows that a similar research program can advance our understanding of dynamical processes in history. It investigates the dynamics predicted by the models, and contrasts model predictions with empirical patterns.
