| Abstract
|
:
|
"The analysis of Thucydides as a joint effort of both ancient historians and political scientists found a welcome audience in the context of Cold War scholars in the 1980s and 1990s. Since the close of the Cold War, however, there has been little in the way of a concentrated scholarship renewing this interdisciplinary dialogue. This book, the second of two monographs exploring Thucydides, consists of contributions by world-class scholars on Thucydides' legacy to the political process as understood by both ancient and modern historians and political scientists. It also includes a careful examination of the usefulness and efficacy of the interdisciplinary approach to political order in the ancient world and proposes new paths for the future of such study"--

"Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War, which describes the war between Athens and Sparta and their allies in the Hellenic polis-world of the 5th Century BC, is considered in both, history and political science, as a text of fundamental disciplinary relevance. The two volumes suggest an inter-disciplinary, political order-oriented reading of this text, which involves the combination of the distinct perspectives of Classicists, International Relations scholars, Philologists and Political Theorists on the ancient author"--
