Abstract
As I have outlined in detail (Bowden 2009, 2009a Vol. 1), virtually since its inception in the mid Eighteenth century, the term civilisation has been imbued with both descriptive and evaluative dimensions. It is in large part because of this evaluative and normative nature that the concept of civilisation is also an inherently hierarchal concept, particularly when applied to the theorising and practice of world politics.
