This volume which also appeared as a special issue of Medieval
Encounters deals with transformations of the major Eurasian
civilizations in the early second millennium CE, and with the
question of contrasts, parallels and connections between the
different trajectories that took shape during this period. An
introductory section discusses the theoretical problems of
comparative analysis, with particular reference to formative phases
of cultural crystallization. The first main thematic section
focuses on European developments. The emergence of Western
Christendom as a distinctive civilization is analyzed in a broader
Eurasian context. Other contributions examine the Europeanization
of northern and eastern peripheries, as well as the different
course of events in the Byzantine world. The last section covers
socio-cultural changes in non-European regions - the Islamic world,
India, China and Japan - and concludes with a discussion of the
Eurasian empire created by the Mongols. With contributions by
Thomas Lindkvist; Sverre Bagge; Paul Jakov Smith; Paul Stephenson;
Mikael Adolphson; Dr. Michal Biran; Said A. Arjomand; Gabor
Klaniczay; R. I. Moore; Sheldon Pollock. Originally published in
hardcover
