Technological innovation was crucial to the process of European
expansion: advances in astronomy and navigation and changes in
weaponry all contributed to the emergence of European commercial
enclaves in Africa and Asia, and the conquest of the Americas. This
volume illustrates the ways in which these European technological
advantages shaped the expansion of the global system, whilst making
clear that Western technology both adapted models from other
cultures and was at times seriously challenged by them. In the arts
of war, the West had much less of a technological edge over its
Asian adversaries than is usually believed. Substantially dealing
with the issue of technology transfer between the world and Europe,
these studies underline the interactive nature of the process.
