Title: Unproclaimed Empire the Grand Duchy of Lithuania
Description: "An Unproclaimed Empire : the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is an interdisciplinary study of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL) that is historical in subject but social scientific in approach. It is also the first study to apply this comparative and social scientific method to the GDL. In this book, Zenonas Norkus draws on national historiographies as well as applying theories from comparative empire studies involving historians, sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists and scholars in the theory of international relations, allowing it to transcend differences in national viewpoints. It also provides answers to contested issues in the history of the GDL as well as raising a number of new questions, including whether the Grand Duchy was an empire or a federation, and why and when it failed"--Provided by publisher.
