Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

Ca. 1500 few guessed that the small peninsula at the western end of the Asian land mass would soon achieve world economic and political dominance. We trace the West's tradition of political upheaval by reading theory surrounding the major revolutions of the modern age. Splitting a 1,000-year "Universal church" into fragments, developing warring nation-states, executing Kings, and founding colonial republics - Why? How? What has this restless vision of progress made of politics and the world?
