ISBN: 9780231121101 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

Rejecting choice-centered theories of imperial decline, Motyl maintains that the very structure of empires promotes decay and that decay in turn facilitates the progressive loss of territory. Although most major empires have in fact declined in this manner, some, such as the Soviet Union, have...
