Abstract :Paul Strathern’s Rise and Fall: A History of the World in Ten Empires is a concise world history analysing the characteristics and impact of ten empires from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and America. Explaining the spirit of adventure, administration and power of ten of the most significant empires is central to this study. War, subjugation of conquered peoples, and a ‘civilising agenda’ are linked with this. Broadening the analyses to include how empires operate hand-in-hand with world civilisation (notably long-term social development and technological advances) and the migration of early humans across continents and oceans offers the reader a thought-provoking experience.Keywords : imparatorluk, medeniyet, küresel, antik, modern, komünizm
