Middle East and the Making of the Modern World

About the author

Cyrus Schayegh is Associate Professor of International History at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva.

Summary

How do historians make sense of the spatial layeredness of the past? Cyrus Schayegh argues that the modern world’s ultimate socio-spatial feature is not the oft-studied processes of globalization or state formation or urbanization, but rather the fast-paced, mutually transformative intertwinements of cities, regions, states, and global circuits.
