It discusses forms of kingship such as client-kingship, monarchy, queen consort and regnant queenship that manifest gubernatorial power in concert with paternal succession and the divine right of the king. While the king assumes a religious dimension in his obligatory functions, justice and peace are vital elements to maintain his sovereignty. In sum, the active side of governmental power is to keep peace and order leading to prosperity for the subjects; the passive side of power is to protect the subjects from external attack and free them from fear. These concepts of power find concurrence in modern times as well as in non-European cultures. Through a truly cross-cultural, transnational, multidimensional, gender-conscious and interdisciplinary study, this collection offers a cutting edge account of how power has been exercised and demonstrated in various cultures of some bygone eras. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Governmental Power; Divine Right of the King; Justice and Peace; Early Modern Europe; King Arthur; Royalt | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-58381-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-93084-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-58381-9 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
