Asia was the principle focus of empire-builders from Alexander and
Akbar to Chinggis Khan and Qianlong and yet, until now, there has
been no attempt to provide a comprehensive history of empire in the
region. Empire in Asia is the first thorough survey of the topic
Volume I traces the evolution of a constellation of competing
empires in Asia from the 13th through to the 18th centuries. It
describes the history and characteristic features of imperial
regimes in each major sub-region of Asia, from the Ottomans and
Safavids in the West, Romanovs in the North, Mughals in the South,
the Mongols & their successors in Inner Asia, to the Ming and
Qing Dynasties in the East. Volume II covers the long 19th century,
commonly seen in terms of 'high imperialism' and the global
projection of Western power. It explores the dynamic, volatile and
contested processes which caused, by the early years of the 20th
century, the integration of Asian states, spaces and peoples into
the wider dynamics of global reordering. The 2 volumes of Empire in
Asia offer a significant contribution to the theory and practice of
empire when considered globally and comparatively, and are
essential reading for all students and scholars of global, imperial
and Asian history.
