Most archaeologists and historians of the ancient Near East have
focused on the internal transformations that led to the emergence
of early cities and states. In "The Uruk World System," Guillermo
Algaze concentrates on the unprecedented and wide-ranging process
of external expansion that coincided with the rapid initial
crystallization of Mesopotamian civilization. In this extensive
study, he contends that the rise of early Sumerian polities cannot
be understood without also taking into account the developments in
surrounding peripheral areas. This new edition includes a
substantial new chapter that explores recent data and
interpretations of the expansion of Uruk settlements across
Syro-Mesopotamia.
