Ansari University of St Andrews, Scotland Distinguished historian Ali M. Ansari explores ideas about nationalism that emerged in post-Enlightenment Europe and applies them to a non-European state. Charting a course through twentieth-century Iran, he analyses the impact of these ideas on different regimes and their historiographical and political connections. He concludes that revolutionary developments in the early twentieth century paved the way for later radicalisation.

Jones Institución Milà y Fontanals, Barcelona Oratory and sermons had a fixed place in the religious and civic rituals of pre-modern Muslim societies and were indispensable for transmitting religious knowledge, legitimising rulers and inculcating moral values. While there has been abundant scholarship on medieval Christian and Jewish preaching, this book is the first to consider the tradition of pulpit oratory in the medieval Islamic world.

For thousands of years the Caucasus has formed a hub of intersecting routes of migration, invasion, trade and culture and a geographical bridge between Europe and Asia, subject to recurring imperial invasion. Drawing on sources in English, Russian and translations from Persian and Arabic, this authoritative study centres on the region’s indigenous peoples, including Abkhazians, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Chechens, Daghestanis, Circassians, and Georgians, and their relations with outsiders who still play a part in the life of the region today. The book presents a critical view of the role of Russian imperialism in the Caucasian countries and the desperate struggle of most of its native peoples in their efforts to establish a precarious independence. 2013 228 x 152 mm 680pp 38 b/w illus. 28 maps 978-0-521-87295-9 Hardback c. £85.00 Publication June 2013 www.cambridge.org/9780521872959 New in Paperback Violence and Social Orders A Conceptual Framework for Interpreting Recorded Human History Douglass C. North Washington University, St Louis John Joseph Wallis University of Maryland, College Park and Barry R. Weingast Stanford University, California All societies must deal with the possibility of violence, and they do so in different ways. This book integrates the problem of violence into a larger social science and historical framework, showing how economic and political behavior are closely linked. Most societies, which we call natural states, limit violence by political manipulation of the economy to create privileged interests. These privileges limit the use of violence by powerful individuals, but doing so hinders both economic and political development. In contrast, modern societies create open access to economic and political organizations, fostering political and economic competition. The book provides a framework for understanding the two types of social orders, why open access societies are both politically and economically more developed, and how some 25 countries have made the transition between the two types. Review of the hardback: ‘With bravado, abandon, and great learning, North, Wallis, and Weingast have produced an excellent read – a book that is intriguing, entertaining, irritating, and provocative.
