Theory and practice of expansionism. The experience of strong powers. Shaptalov B.N.

Historical books and textbooks pay great attention to expansion, but the phenomenon of expansionism slipped from the field of view of the social sciences. Expansion is most often considered a derivative of politics. The proposed book is devoted to expansion, which is considered as an independent social phenomenon that has a huge, determining influence on the development of civilizations, which has its patterns of functioning, history, mechanisms, philosophy. The author invites everyone to enter the world of expansionism - the world in which we live, fight, win, tolerate defeats, then to start a new round of struggle. This is how human society is arranged, and therefore it is necessary to know what affects the fate of peoples and states.

The book is designed for everyone who is interested in the functioning of the mechanisms of social systems. She will attract attention both by specialists - historians, social scholars, political scientists, philosophers - and everyone who wants to see Russia with a strong and successful country.
