What reading level is The Shield of Achilles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have traced these patterns from the Renaissance into the twenty-first century. But I do not believe that I have discovered an historical law of general application.
Far from it. Rather I believe that at each juncture, things might have gone differently. It is the decisions of those persons who guide the State that determine whether stability or innovation will ensue. True, these deci-sions are confined by the “genetic material” of the State: its culture and resources. But within these constrai...nts many real choices are possible with respect to the two dominant, mutually affecting dimensions of the State, law and strategy. The society of states we have today has been brought into being by countless acts of decision making that were not compelled by larger structures, but rather that constituted those structures. It is precisely because these choices could have been different that legitimacy is conferred—or withdrawn—by their outcome. History is the name we put to choices made.
I came across this manifesto by Rey Koslowski and Friedrich Kratochwil that seems to me very largely right on this issue.
