Description
Empires were perhaps the most significant globalizers of the pre-modern world. In this module, we will therefore undertake a comparative exploration of empire between the 13th and 18th centuries, examining how they governed territories, integrate economies, and ruled over diverse peoples. From the terrestrial empires of Eurasia to the integration of the Atlantic world, we will also critically approach the idea of globalization itself and its usefulness for historical inquiry.
