{"product_id":"9781138107830","title":"The Limits of Empire: European Imperial Formations in Early Modern World History : Essays in Honor of Geoffrey Parker","description":"\u003cp\u003ePublished in honor of historian Geoffrey Parker, this volume explores the working of European empires in a global perspective, focusing on one of the most important themes of Parker’s work: the limits of empire, which is to say, the centrifugal forces - sacral, dynastic, military, diplomatic, geographical, informational - that plagued imperial formations in the early modern period (1500-1800). Whilst the thirteen chapters in this book focus on a number of geographic regions and adopt different approaches, each shares a focus on, and interest in, the working of empires and the ways that imperial formations dealt with - or failed to deal with - the challenges that beset them. Taken together, they reflect a new phase in the evolving historiography of empire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49123979591907,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781138107830-1.jpg?v=1788372248","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781138107830","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
