UCD/TCD Joint Lecture ' Empires in World History' by Prof. Krishan Kumar and book launch by Siniša Malešević ‘Grounded Nationalisms'
Prof Krishan Kumar (University of Virginia) will present a Joint UCD-TCD Public Lecture at 5pm - D418 Newman Building, UCD, Belfield.
“Empires in World History”
Empire, as John Darwin has said, has been “the default mode” of political organization for most of human history. Why is that? Why are empires so ubiquitous? What has made them so persistent and long-lasting? Can we find any principles that link them as a universal phenomenon? Are there major differences between Eastern and Western empires? This talk will explore connections as well as divergences in the imperial experience. It will argue that there has been a “tradition” of empire, in the West, linking the empires in a chain of empires. But that has not meant that there has not been intensive interaction between empires across the globe, at least within the Eurasian landmass. Empire is a Eurasian phenomenon, even if not all empires have participated equally in Eurasian developments. This talk will seek to map those empires across Eurasia, and to examine interconnections.
After the lecture the new book by Siniša Malešević ‘Grounded Nationalisms: A Sociological Analysis’ will be launched by Prof Krishan Kumar. The book launch will take place after the lecture at 6.30pm also in - D418 Newman Building, UCD, Belfield.
Here is more information about the book:
