The central theme of the book is that the most profound transformation of the 20th century was the emergence of nation-states in place of disintegrating empires. Three main subjects help to interpret the forces of global change: the international history of the nation-states; the role of ideology in shaping political and cultural movements and social values; and the evolution of world economic relations.
