Purchase options and add-ons

Global Interactions in the Early Modern Age is an interdisciplinary introduction to cross-cultural encounters in the early modern age (1400-1800) and their influences on the development of world societies. In the aftermath of Mongol expansion across Eurasia, the unprecedented rise of imperial states in the early modern period set in motion interactions between people from around the world. These included new commercial networks, large-scale migration streams, global biological exchanges, and transfers of knowledge across oceans and continents. These in turn wove together the major regions of the world. In an age of extensive cultural, political, military, and economic contact, a host of individuals, companies, tribes, states, and empires were in competition. Yet they also cooperated with one another, leading ultimately to the integration of global space.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“In this compelling and lucidly written overview of global interactions during the early modern period, Charles Parker convincingly argues that the ‘integration of global space’ is a defining feature of early modernity. Synthesizing scholarship on trade, migration, biological exchange, and cultural encounters―as well as labor and environmental history―Parker tracks the growth of interdependent inter-continental relationships and the emergence of universal forms of knowledge across the globe.”
―Laura Hostetler, University of Illinois, Chicago

“Charles Parker balances the story of Europe’s Atlantic empires with the contemporary experiences of empire in southern, eastern, and northern Eurasia. He then knits together these imperial centers with chapters on trade, migration, ecology, and culture, providing a trans-Eurasian perspective on four centuries of early-modern world history.”
―Patrick Manning, University of Pittsburgh

“This book fills an increasingly important place in the literature on early modern Europe and globalization. Parker is utterly persuasive when he argues that the early modern period deserves to be singled out in the history of globalization, and the material in this study is presented cogently, sensibly, and quite compellingly.”
―Benjamin Schmidt, University of Washington

“In his Global Interactions, Charles Parker has produced an intelligent, effective and up-to-date synthesis of the new ways in which early modern world history has been reconceptualized. He strikes a balance between elements of political economy and culture, and also takes on board important themes of migration and ecology. This is a balanced, thoughtful and clearly written work that should be used widely in university classrooms.”
―Sanjay Subrahmanyam, University of California, Los Angeles

"Parker's insightful new book examines the myriad influences of cross-cultural encounters in the early modern age and how these encounters impacted early global societies. Recommended." -Choice

"...well organized, clearly written, and covers a multitude of global phenomena." -William E. Burns, Canadian Journal of History

"This book, clearly, will describe ‘sustained interactions’ and ‘interdependent relationships’ (11) rather than the ascendancy of Europe." -European History Quarterly

Excellent Overview

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is a great, short introduction to a large topic, the interactions among Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas during the early modern period.

Generally, the book traces the decline of Asian, African and American societies in the face of exploring and colonizing Europeans. The focus, however, is on the exchanges among these peoples.

The first two chapters discuss state-building and imperialism by Europeans and Asians, respectively. While Europeans (Britain, Spain, Holland, Portugal, France) built overseas empires, Asians (China, Russia, India, Iran, Ottoman) expanded their territories across the continent.

The third chapter examines trade. Networks across the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean and Eurasia expanded, and built upon, in the case of the latter two, longstanding trade routes.

Chapter four examines the movement of peoples. On the Atlantic, the slave trade and European colonization constructed new demographics in the Americas. Russia expanded into Siberia, and China expanded both southeast and northwest.

Chapter five examines the global exchange of diseases, plants and animals. The Columbian exchange is featured, as well as effects including deforestation and extinction of animals.

Chapter six looks at the spread of religion and culture. Christianity spread into Europe's overseas empires, while Islam grew in Asia and Africa. These religious interactions often facilitated scientific exchange, but this is only discussed briefly.

Overall, a very good, brief, introduction to this period.

How We Got Here

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2019

This is a brief account (217 pages) of how modern Globalization started. The author relies on many excellent secondary sources to describe how for the first time in history, the people of Europe, Asia, the America's and the Pacific came together into one world system. Many of his topics have been covered in other works: the Columbian Exchange, the building of empires, and the spread of religion, but this is the first work I have read that pulls these topics all together. In addition, he includes the impact on the planet's environment as well. If you are interested in what Globalism is, this is a good first read.

Generally a good review of a large topic, though some views and interpretations are a bit outdated, so you need to be aware of that. I would say it's a good companion for someone looking to ferret out key points, but I would not blindly trust all of the interpretations.
