A Short History of Western Ideology
We are arguably living in a ‘postideological’ era. However, when we tune into the TV news we can hear political leaders talk about ‘advanced’ societies, geopolitical experts suggest ‘humanitarian’ interventions, and sober events presenters qualify a murder as ‘barbaric’. What does this mean? In this comprehensive book, Rolf Petri reveals how our everyday political language is full of ideological representations of the world, and places them in an accessible historical narration.From the secularization of Europe and the Enlightenment project of 'civilization' to the contemporary preoccupation with ecological catastrophes or the end of history, A Short History of Western Ideology carves out the central elements of western ideology. It focuses on a wide variety of issues including religion, colonialism, race and gender, which are essential for how we conceive of the modern world. By creating an awareness of the ideological character of the western worldview, its limits and its flaws, this book warns us of the dangers that derive from a self-righteous mindset. It is stimulating and important reading for history and politics students seeking to understand the ideology of the western world.</JATS1:p
Waging War and Making Peace: European Ways of Inciting and Containing Armed Conflict, 1710-1960
Why was the idea of Europe seen as a reason for negotiating new peace orders? And why was Europe no less frequently invoked as a compelling reason to start another war? The authors dissect the semantics of ‘Europe’ shaped within discourses on war and peace from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. They tackle several aspects relating to such issues, including imagined wars, the post-1815 security order, ‘otherized’ Russians and Muslims, the European double standards of international law, pacifist discourses, and ‘Europe’ in war propaganda and in the resistance movements during the Second World War

The chapter discusses the relevance and meaning of anti-Russian tropes for European views about war, international law and European self-understanding. It compares the Russian case to other, similar, ones. Its main focus is on the period 1791–1814, from the French Revolution to Napoleon's campaign, but earlier and later events, and disputes over international law from the eighteenth up to the twentieth century, are also recalled
