Detested in theory, it nevertheless became as frequent as war between sovereign states. The importance of such '\u003ci\u003estasis\u003c\/i\u003e' was recognised by political thinkers of the time, especially Thucydides and Aristotle, both of whom tried to analyse its causes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eViolence, Civil Strife and Revolution in the Classical City, first published in 1982, gives a conspectus of \u003ci\u003estasis\u003c\/i\u003e in the societies of Greek antiquity, and traces the development of civil strife as city-states grew in political, social and economic sophistication. Aristocratic rivalry, tensions between rich and poor, imperialism and constitutional crisis are all discussed, while special consideration is given to the attitudes of the participants and the theoretical explanations offered at the time. In conclusion, civil strife in the ancient world is compared to more recent conflicts, both domestic and international. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Lintott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138019739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138019737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Andrew Lintott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48659230621951,"sku":"9781138019737","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/violence-civil-strife-and-revolution-andrew-lintott-9781138019737","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
