Description

This scholarly examination by Routledge explores the language and ideology underpinning three major periods of hegemonic rule: the Pax Romana, Pax Britannica, and Pax Americana. The book contextualises these concepts within broader frameworks of hegemony and empire, addressing how dominant powers have justified their control through the language of peace. Using a historiographical approach, it draws on texts from Greco-Roman antiquity and sources spanning the nineteenth, twentieth, and contemporary periods. The work offers a linguistic study of how the notion of pax has evolved across ancient and modern times, alongside an analysis of the international orders established by Rome and Britain. Essential reading for students and scholars of military history, international relations, and the political ideologies that have shaped global power structures.
