THE SOCIAL EVOLUTION OF WORLD POLITICS - MATHIA...

How can we understand long-term change in world politics better? Based on readings of thinkers
as diverse as Habermas  Foucault and Luhmann  the authors of this book propose a framework for
understanding such change in terms of social evolution. They show that processes of social
learning and unlearning are key to understanding the long-term historical evolution of complex
societies  and propose to approach these with the core concepts of autonomization  hierarchical
complexity  and co-evolution. Three case studies illustrate this social evolutionary
perspective to the study of world politics  examining the evolution of forms of organizing
political authority  of conflicts  of diplomacy  of law as boundary condition.
