Index 402
This volume examines the period from Rome's earliest involvement in
the eastern Mediterranean to the establishment of Roman
geopolitical dominance over all the Greek states from the Adriatic
Sea to Syria by the 180s BC.

Applies modern political theory to ancient Mediterranean
history, taking a Realist approach to its analysis of Roman
involvement in the Greek Mediterranean

Focuses on the harsh nature of interactions among states under
conditions of anarchy while examining the conduct of both Rome and
Greek states during the period, and focuses on what the concepts of
modern political science can tell us about ancient international
relations

Includes detailed discussion of the crisis that convulsed the
Greek world in the last decade of the third century BC

Provides a balanced portrait of Roman militarism and
imperialism in the Hellenistic world
Arthur M. Eckstein is a specialist in the history of Roman imperialism. He has published three books, Senate and General: Individual Decision-Making and Roman Foreign Relations, 264-194 BC (1987), Moral Vision in the Histories of Polybius (1995), Mediterranean Anarchy, Interstate War and the Rise of Rome (2006), and 50 major scholarly articles. He is also co-editing an edition of Polybius' Histories.
"A strength of Eckstein's volume is the balance of
international relations theory with the detailed history of the
transformation of the Hellenistic multipolar anarchy from the First
Illyrian War to the period of Roman "unipolarity". This
consolidates the placement of political theory within current
historiography of the interstate relations of the mid- Republic and
Hellenistic world. Based on the reception of IR Realism in the
various studies cited here which have engaged directly or
peripherally with Eckstein's volume, there are two major
ideas for which he argues that are already working their way
through the ancient historical consciousness: that fear, threat,
force and violence underpin interstate discourses and were
commonplace in the experiences and strategies of both primary and
secondary polities; and that all polities were stakeholders in
international relations, with neither Roman (or others')
ambivalence preventing their participation, nor secondary
states' comparative weakness limiting their determination to
join the negotiation of conflict. We shall in future see much more
scholarship based upon these two central arguments."
