Eurasia's emerging powers - India, China, and Russia - have increasingly embraced their maritime geographies as they have expanded and strengthened their economies, military capabilities, and global influence. Maritime Eurasia, a region that facilitates international commerce and contains some of the world's most strategic maritime chokepoints, has already caused a shift in the global political economy and challenged the dominance of the Atlantic world and the United States. Climate change is set to further affect global politics. With meticulous and comprehensive field research, the author considers how the melting of the Arctic ice cap will create new shipping lanes and exacerbate a contest for the control of Arctic natural resources. He explores as well the strategic maritime shifts under way from Europe to the Indian Ocean and Pacific Asia. The race for great power status and the earth's changing landscape, the author shows, are rapidly transforming Eurasia and thus creating a new world order.

This book provides an overview of Bronze Age societies of Western Eurasia through an investigation of the archaeological record. The Making of Bronze Age Eurasia outlines the long-term processes and patterns of interaction that link these groups together in a shared historical trajectory of development. Interactions took the form of the exchange of raw materials and finished goods, the spread and sharing of technologies, and the movements of peoples from one region to another. Kohl reconstructs economic activities from subsistence practices to the production and exchange of metals and other materials. Kohl also argues forcefully that the main task of the archaeologist should be to write culture-history on a spatially and temporally grand scale in an effort to detect large, macrohistorical processes of interaction and shared development.

Dans l'Inde du XVIe siècle, la guerre éclate entre princes hindous et musulmans. Une bataille décisive se déroule en janvier 1565. Ces disputes de cours et le combat sont relatés par des chroniqueurs, observateurs ou poètes de toutes langues, du persan jusqu'au portugais. À chacun ses codes, à chacun ses symboles. Difficile de traduire dans sa propre culture les systèmes de valeurs des autres. Entre l'Europe et l'Asie, la rivalité commerciale et politique s'envenime également du fait des incompréhensions religieuses dans les rapports de pouvoir. En témoigne le spectaculaire martyre d'un officier portugais en Indonésie occidentale (1583). Dernier exemple d'histoires connectées : la circulation des œuvres et des images entre la peinture de cour moghole et celle du Siècle d'Or hollandais. Sanjay Subrahmanyam renouvelle la réflexion sur l'islam, le catholicisme, le protestantisme et le monde " hindou " au début des Temps Modernes. Certains débats cruciaux d'aujourd'hui - la laïcité, le cosmopolitisme, le nationalisme - se révèlent ici sous un nouvel éclairage.
