Concepts and Theories

Peace in the Ancient World: Concepts and Theories conducts a comparative investigation of why certain ancient societies produced explicit concepts and theories of peace and others did not.


  • Explores the idea that concepts of peace in antiquity occurred only in periods that experienced exceptional rates of warfare

  • Utilizes case studies of civilizations in China, India, Egypt, and Greece

  • Complements the 2007 volume War and Peace in the Ancient World, drawing on ideas from that work and providing a more comprehensive examination
