The western steppelands of Central Eurasia, stretching from the
Danube, through the modern Ukraine and southern Russia, to the
Caspian, have historically been the meeting ground of Inner Asian
pastoral nomads and the agrarian societies of Eastern Europe and
the Caucasus. This volume deals, firstly, with the interaction of
the nomads with their sedentary neighbours - the Kievan Rus' state
and the medieval polities of Transcaucasia, Georgia in particular -
in the period from the 6th century to the advent of the Mongols.
Second, it looks at questions of nomadic ethnogenesis (Oghuz,
Hungarian, Qipchaq), at the evolution of nomadic political
traditions and the heritage of the Turk empire, and at aspects of
indigenous nomadic religious traditions together with the impact of
foreign religions on the nomads - notably the conversion of the
Khazars to Judaism. A number of articles focus on the Qipchaqs, a
powerful confederation of complex Inner Asian origins that played a
crucial role in the history of Christian Eastern Europe and
Transcaucasia and the Muslim world between the 11th and 13th
centuries.
