Civilizations, Empires, and Wars

William Eckhardt

Lentz Peace Research Laboratory of St. Louis

We can learn a lot about war through the study of civilization. We can learn a lot about civilization through the study of war. We can learn a lot about empires through the study of civilization and war. These three have grown up together. Did they foster one another? Did one cause the others? Or were they all products of a cause which they had in common? Can we have one without the others? What light can they throw on one another's nature? on onnne another's history? This study suggests that they are all products of domination and exploitation. If so, a civilization designed to be more equal in its human relations should be less imperial and less warlike.
