An extraordinarily wide study of constitutions from Catherine the Great to the present, and how they came about in the context of international relations and warfare. There are few books which discourse in detail on Russia, Corsica, Haiti, Pitcairn, Tahiti, Tunisia, the Fante Confederation and Japan. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"A groundbreaking work that retells modern history through the rise and spread of written constitutions-some enlightened, many oppressive-to every corner of the globe. Filling a crucial void in our understanding of world history, Linda Colley reconfigures the rise of the modern world over three centuries through the advent of written constitutions. Her absorbing work challenges accepted narratives, focusing on rulers like Catherine the Great, who wrote her enlightened Nakaz years before the French Revolution; African visionaries like Sierra Leone's James Africanus Beale Horton; and Tunisias's soldier-constitutionalist Khayr-al-Din, who championed constitutional reform in the Muslim world. Demonstrating how constitutions repeatedly evolved in tandem with warfare, and how they were used to free, but also exclude, people (especially women and indigenous populations), this handsomely illustrated history-with its pageant of powerful monarchs, visionary lawmakers, and insurrectionist rebels-evokes The Silk Roads in its range and ambition. Whether reinterpreting the lasting influence of Japan's 1889 Meiji constitution or exploring the first constitution to enfranchise women in tiny Pitcairn Island in 1838, this book is one of the most original and absorbing histories in decades"-- Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

I am not sure that the abundance of evidence she amassed actually made the case that the primary reason for the interest in constitutions was to support warfare, but the many fascinating and obscure facts Colley writes about make the book worthwhile. ( )
