About this book

From despots to powerless figureheads, and from the Neolithic era to the present, this book traces the history of kingship around the world and the tenacity of its connection with the sacred.

  • Considers the many forms that kingship took during this period, including: the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt; the emperors of Japan; the Maya rulers of Mesoamerica; the medieval popes and emperors; and the English and French monarchs of early modern Europe
  • Explores the panoply of governing roles that kingship involved - administrative, military, judicial, economic, religious and symbolic - but focussing on its connection with the sacred.
  • Draws on the insights of cultural anthropology and comparative religion, as well as the on the resources provided by historians.

Advances in Political Psychology
In volume 1 of the series, the focus is on political psychology as a perspective or way of exploring politics. The volume shows how political psychology provides a window on the world by exploring issues of identity, political participation and framing as well as showing how world leaders, institutions and governments do it politically. A myriad of methods are used in studying these topics ranging from surveys to experiments to case studies. Chapters focus on the US experience as well as that of a number of other countries. This Series is sponsored by the International Society of Political Psychology.
