Riassunto

We are used to the idea that each state has clearly defined borders, which cleanly separate different nationalities from one another. What, though, were frontiers like before the evolution of the modern nation state? The nine essays in this book seek to answer this question across a thousand years of Eurasian history.

Recensione:

'In this important volume examing frontiers across Eurasia in the medieval and early modern age, edited by Daniel Power and Naomi Standen, the authors successfully undermine received wisdom and highlight remarkably similar phenomena in disparate places. Comparative frontier studies have come of age.' - Peter C. Perdue, The International History Review
