520 1 $a"Seeking to transcend the hoary insistence on East-West dichotomies, this collection looks at transformations in cultural and political organization across Eurasia that were both more general and more psychologically significant to pre-1830 actors themselves than the problem that has obsessed twentieth-century comparativists, namely, the origins of a unique European industrialism.
520 8 $aNine coordinated essays explore the proposition that the integration of isolated units to form more cohesive systems in France, Russia, and other European countries c. 1000-1830 correspond in important respects to integrative processes that were occurring at the same time in parts of Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Japan.".
520 8 $a"Insofar as similarities between some European and Asian areas exceeded those between different sectors of Asia, this collection invites historians to reject Eurocentric perspectives in favor of more thematic, contextually-specific categories. At the same time it raises the possibility of a broad "early modern" period for Eurasia at large."--BOOK JACKET.
