Historical Dynamics: Why Nations Rise and Fall

About This Novel

Why can some countries successfully initiate territorial expansion plans and become empires? Why do empires fall sooner or later? This is a long-standing and controversial issue in historical research. Peter Turchin applies modeling and quantitative methods to the study of the rise and fall of states. Starting from the interaction between geopolitics, sense of community, national assimilation and religious conversion, as well as population dynamics and social stability, he constructs different quantitative models to explain the expansion and decline of empires. This book provides a unique and new perspective for us to understand the rise and fall of countries and the dynamic changes of human history.
