The institution of monarchy has been man's natural form of government in every civilisation since the dawn of recorded time. Yet, over the past two hundred and fifty years, this historic system has entered into seemingly irreversible decline in favour of the republic, globally and without fanfare. As scholars seek to understand why societies are changing in such a way Monarchy or Republic explores this radical phenomenon and its significance in modern political thought. From the rise of monarchy as an institution to its decline after the American and French revolutions in the late 18th century author Hugh Williams provides readers with a succinct, comprehensive and accurate analysis of how governments, cultures and individuals have influenced the role of monarchy over the years. Drawing focus to this often overlooked but integral aspect of history, Monarchy or Republic gives a thorough academic examination of a richly dense area in modern history. The worldwide dichotomy of monarchy and republic is expertly explored over sixteen easy-to-read chapters in Dr Williams' hugely intriguing and detailed prose. Although it covers an aspect of history that has been largely ignored, Monarchy or Republic: A Worldwide Overview offers to be the first major voice in this, one of the most striking cultural shifts of our time.
