Strange Parallels: Volume 2, Mainland Mirrors: Europe, Japan, China, South Asia, and the Islands: Southeast Asia in Global Context, c. 800-1830 (Studies in Comparative World History)

This book seeks both to integrate Southeast Asia into world history and to rethink much of Eurasia's premodern past. It argues that Southeast Asia, Europe, Japan, China, and South Asia all embodied idiosyncratic versions of a hitherto unrecognized pattern of political and cultural integration that was governed by Eurasian-wide climatic, commercial, and military stimuli. This fundamentally original view of Eurasia speaks to both historians of individual regions and those interested in global trends.Lieberman, Victor B. is the author of 'Strange Parallels: Volume 2, Mainland Mirrors: Europe, Japan, China, South Asia, and the Islands: Southeast Asia in Global Context, c. 800-1830 (Studies in Comparative World History)', published 2009 under ISBN 9780521823524 and ISBN 0521823528.
