Professor Pagden is Distinguished Professor in the Departments of Political Science and History at UCLA. He is the author of more than a dozen books. His main concern is in the political theory of empire, in how the “West” sought to explain to itself how and why it had come to dominate so much of the world, and in the present consequences of the erosion of that domination. His most recent publications include Worlds and War. The 2,500 Year Struggle between East and West (Random House and Oxford University Press, 2008) and The Enlightenment-And Why It Still Matters (Random House and Oxford University Press, 2013).
