Explaining the Irrationality of War
Drawing on eight years of comparative-historical research, Michael Mann overturns accepted wisdom on the bellicosity of democracies, the economic grounds for war and the rational calculations of states in a rivalrous world system

Mapping Deprived Urban Areas Using Open Geospatial Data and Machine Learning in Africa
Reliable data on slums or deprived living conditions remain scarce in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Global high-resolution maps of deprived areas are fundamental for both research- and evidence-based policies. Existing mapping methods are generally one-off studies that use proprietary commercial data or other physical or socio-economic data that are limited geographically. Open geospatial data are increasingly available for large…

The relative influence of climate and housing development on current and projected future fire patterns and structure loss across three California landscapes
Climate and land use patterns are expected to change dramatically in the coming century, raising concern about their effects on wildfire patterns and subsequent impacts to human communities. The relative influence of climate versus land use on fires and their impacts, however, remains unclear, particularly given the substantial geographical variability in fire-prone places like California. We developed a modeling framework to compare the importan…
Newspapers and News Agencies Owned by Indians in British India, c. 1880–1930
The chapter introduces the selection of seven English newspapers owned by Indians to be scrutinized in the book’s final two chapters. It describes the history of the newspapers, ownerships, political bias as well as the change of format and layout. The latter is of particular importance as these changes indicate the massive influence telegraphic news had on a newspaper’s graphic design and formatting. Telegraphic news deeply transformed the outer…

Modeling residential development in California from 2000 to 2050
Between 1940 and 2000, nearly 10 million housing units were constructed throughout California. This increased interaction between human and natural communities creates a number of significant socio-ecological challenges. Here we present a novel spatially explicit model that allows better characterization of the extent and intensity of future housing settlements using three development scenarios between 2000 and 2050. We estimate that California's…
Phoenicians and Greeks
In this chapter I discuss the emergence and development of the two major decentralized civilizations of the first millennium b.c. , Phoenicia and Greece. I concentrate on Greece because it is considerably better documented: We can distinguish the principal phases of its dialectic of development. I argue that the massive contributions of both peoples to the development of social power is to be attributed to the decentralized, multi-level nature of…
Migration — Re-Migration — Circulation
[ The loss to the poorer societies involved the investment in raising and educating (or, at least, training) before migration children and adolescents who, after migration, would invest their human capital and pay their dues to the society, i.e. taxes, in a different country. Routes in the seas and across oceans left no trace that historians, not seafarers themselves, could discern. Knowledge of the world was created as much through seafaring and…
Connecting Seas and Connected Ocean Rims
Long-distance migration of peoples have been a central if little understood factor in global integration. The essays in this collection contribute to a new history of world migrations, written by specialists of particular areas of the world. Collectively these essays point towards a shift from the regional migrations of individual seas and oceans of the early modern era toward nineteenth-century labor migrations that connected the Pacific and Ind…

Explaining the world as a system
The first volume of Immanuel Wallerstein's magnum opus, The Modern World System (1974a), hit the bookstalls in 1974, alongside a summarizing journal article in Comparative Studies in Society and History (1974b). His BJS article of 1976 sketched the theory on a still broader canvas, which he reworked in later essays collected together in his book Unthinking Social Science (1991). In these works, he explained how a 'capitalist world-system' or 'wor…
Ernest Gellner and Contemporary Social Thought
Ernest Gellner was a unique scholar whose work covered areas as diverse as social anthropology, analytical philosophy, the sociology of the Islamic world, nationalism, psychoanalysis, East European transformations and kinship structures. Despite this diversity, there is an exceptional degree of unity and coherence in Gellner's work with his distinctly modernist, rationalist and liberal world-view evident in everything he wrote. His central proble…
Explaining macro-regional trends in global income inequalities, 1950-2000
This paper analyses levels and trends in within-country income inequality during the second-half of the 20th century. Two broad general trends were visible: beginning in the 1950s and 1960s inequality declined substantially in most countries, and in the 1980s and 1990s it increased more variably and more slightly. However, we focus here on presenting and explaining the distinct 'macro-regional' regimes of inequality that became evident in this pe…

Mapping the Country
Europe's overseas expansion became a challenge for its simultaneously developing sci ences, especially from the eighteenth century onwards. Geography was certainly the most prominent scientific means that was applied to comprehend the earth. As a sub-discipline, cartography enabled overseas territorial penetration. It will be argued in this paper that it had been the cartographical construction of Bengal, and later on India. by British geographer…

Globalization and September 11
How far might the current conjuncture alter received notions of globalization? Michael Mann considers the pattern of ‘ostracizing imperialism’ and the springs of Islamic resistance to it, amid wider shifts in the sources of social power—military, economic, political, ideological—at the threshold of the new century
Some Long-term Trends in the Multiple-Boundedness of Societies
»Societies« have always consisted of multiple, overlapping, intersecting networks of interaction, at the boundaries of each of which occurs a certain degree of cleavage. »Societies« have never been unitary but multiply-bounded. They have never totally caged their members, but the extent to which they have caged them has varied. It is these »degrees of multiple-boundedness« that I will here discuss across recent history and across the world today.

Ruling Class Strategies and Citizenship
Marshall's theory of citizenship is criticized for being Anglocentric and evolutionist. Comparative historical analysis of industrial societies reveals not one but at least five viable strategies for the institutionalization of class conflict, here called liberal, reformist, authoritarian monarchist, Fascist and authoritarian socialist. In explaining their origin and development emphasis should be placed upon the strategies and cohesion of ruling…

Ecological Change in North India
The British were not the only foreign rulers to bring ecological catastrophe to India. Large areas of forest had been destroyed under the Moguls in the 17th century. The Moguls' former hunting grounds west and south west of Agra had disappeared by 1800. That the residency in Fatehpur Sikri was deserted after the wells had silted up was a further clear indication of this deterioration. Yet the reasons for this overexploitation differed greatly fro…

The Sources of Social Power
This is the first part of a three-volume work on the nature of power in human societies. In it, Michael Mann identifies the four principal 'sources' of power as being control over economic, ideological, military, and political resources. He examines the interrelations between these in a narrative history of power from Neolithic times, through ancient Near Eastern civilisations, the classical Mediterranean age, and medieval Europe, up to just befo…

Notions of nationalism
In recent years, following the end of the cold war and the relative simplicities of the bipolar confrontation, nationalism has re-emerged as a dominant force and ideology in our world. Everywhere, peoples who had been confined within the borders of countries with which they did not identify, and whose regimes they intensely disliked, have been seeking self-determination and democracy. Notions of Nationalism, as the title implies, is an open-minde…
