Description

Explore how ideology has shaped civilizations, empires, and global systems across 1,700 years of history. This Routledge academic work examines the profound influence of competing ideologies including Christianity, Islam, Confucianism, Protestantism, secularism, balance-of-power doctrine, and nationalism on political communities and world order. The author traces how leaders have wielded ideology to organise populations, build common consciousness, conquer rival belief systems, and construct or dismantle states and empires. From the Roman Empire to modern geopolitical conflicts, this book reveals the enduring mechanisms by which ideological frameworks establish legitimacy, inspire loyalty, and reshape international relations. Essential reading for students and scholars of political economy, international relations, and global politics seeking to understand the ideological underpinnings of power structures throughout history.
