This approach involves viewing civilisations as the products of the creative agency of minorities of elites in different geographies and periods. As the introduction by Chiantera-Stutte and Borgognone and the first chapter by Chiantera-Stutte emphasise, the book offers this classic, if somewhat neglected, means of making sense of the contemporary forms of civilisational politics, ranging from references to civilisation in populist political movements in the West to Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine [\u2026] The volume convincingly demonstrates how civilisations, though rooted in particular contexts, can be understood to be central concepts in geopolitics that are of relevance for broader international relations.&#8221;<br><em>(<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/1468-229X.13388\">Marc Sinan Winrow, History<\/a>)<\/em><br><br>&#8220;A fascinating, timely and perceptive set of essays exploring how ideas of civilization are used to justify a wide variety of political agendas from liberal democracy to ethno-nationalist authoritarianism.&#8221;<br><em>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbury.com\/uk\/civilization-9781793645821\/\">Ian Hall, Griffith University<\/a>)<\/em><br><br>The new book edited by Patricia Chiantera-Stutte and Giovanni Borgognone provides a rich and compelling analysis of the many narratives on, and around, &#8220;civilizations&#8221;, and how the latter concept continues to be used to support a variety of political agendas, from liberal democracy to ethno-nationalist authoritarianism.<br><em>(<a href=\"https:\/\/riviste.unimi.it\/index.php\/NAD\/article\/view\/21687?articlesBySimilarityPage=3\">Lorenzo Kamel, NAD<\/a>)<\/em><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/patricia.chianterastutte.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/animus-comune-2019.jpg\" alt=\"Cover: Animus comune\"><\/td><td><em>Animus comune.
