"Before European Hegemony"

"Before European Hegemony" explores the global order prior to Europe's dominance, focusing on the diverse political, economic, and cultural interactions across regions such as Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. It examines how different societies engaged with trade, diplomacy, and power dynamics, highlighting the complexity and interconnectedness of the world before European imperial expansion. The book emphasizes that global influence was more distributed and varied than often portrayed, challenging the assumption that Europe’s rise was inevitable and illustrating a rich, interconnected pre-modern world.
