ABSTRACT
Utopia and dystopia emerge from the atmosphere of optimism and strife, crafted by a solitary hand or a collective cast of ideas that spread or fall silent from rejection. History provides the benchmarks for various social projects that arise suddenly or evolve from laborious struggles. The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is much more than a play projecting struggles over leadership; it reveals the nature of jealousies present in political leadership and the subtle turns that lead to reproach, reaction and disloyalty. In linking literature and grand designs, the forces that create and destroy various civilisations become apparent, unlocking International Relations. Rome and the origins of institutionalised Christianity are indelibly linked: the tangles between intellectual leadership and civil authority being complicated by the rhythms of history. The Treaty in terms of sovereignty has been eroded in terms of recognising the realities of the global political disorder.
