The Rise of the Civilizational State is highly recommended to all students of contemporary global transformations. Andrew Linklater, Aberystwyth University Civilization is one of those words that is central to our lives but that often hides in plain sight. In this gem of a book, Christopher Coker explores multiple possible meanings of civilization both historically and in terms of its contemporary significance. It is, as always with Coker, brilliantly written and shines an impressive and illuminating light on one of the most pressing issues of our day: What is the future of civilization (and, indeed, of civilizations) in the world of today and tomorrow? Nick Rengger, St Andrews University
Christopher Coker is Professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
