This is the first extensive analysis of large-scale violence and
the methods of its restraint in the early modern world. Using
examples from Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe, it questions
the established narrative that violence was only curbed through the
rise of western-style nation states and civil societies. Global
history allows us to reframe and challenge traditional models for
the history of violence and to rethink categories and units of
analysis through comparisons. By decentring Europe and exploring
alternative patterns of violence, the contributors to this volume
articulate the significance of violence in narratives of state- and
empire-building, as well as in their failure and decline, while
also providing new means of tracing the transition from the early
modern to modernity. -- .
