Moving from a historical and cultural perspective, this book
examines the geo-political and socio-economic changes involving the
enlarged Mediterranean. Organised into two main sections, the first
section (The new centrality of the Mediterranean Basin: Trends and
Dynamics) is devoted to the analysis of the most relevant drivers
and interdisciplinary broader issues, and the second section
(Hotspots of Crisis and Regional Interferences in the
Mediterranean) assesses the situation in some areas interested by
the waves of uprisings since 2011-12. The book aims to uncover this
new, critical centrality of the Mediterranean in the global
scenario through the analysis of the interactions and intertwining
of those trends and dynamics offering a historical holistic broad
view. What follows is an Italian perspective that is the result of
the research of a group of scholars who have been working for years
on the first-hand sources of the countries examined. A peculiar
vision connected not only to its unique geographical position at
the center of the basin, but also to its deep relations with the
southern shore throughout its long history.

The region of Baluchistan in southern Pakistan was known as terra
incognita for much of its history. Described by various geographers
and historians since the Greco-Roman period as a truly inhospitable
and harsh place, it was only in the mid-19th century that its
borders were truly defined and its people and history recorded.
This volume presents the first detailed study of the archaeology,
history, anthropology and architecture of Baluchistan, part of an
Italian programme of research launched in 1987. The mission aimed
to verify the literary descriptions of the area in-situ adopting a
multi- and inter-disciplinary approach.
