Summary:

This collection interrogates the dramatic decades of the Chinggisid world empire, permitting exploration of the multi-faceted processes of premodern empire alongside opposed processes of adaptation, resilience, and continuities. This volume goes beyond common understandings of "crisis" in public discourse to employ it as a historical lens for rethinking assumptions shaping Chinggisid research, showing that crises may mark not only challenge to pre-existing norms, but the beginning of a new era. One of the greatest crises in Eurasian history involved conflict between the successor states to the Mongol Empire in the mid-fourteenth century, which led to the disappearance of these premodern polities. The new states that replaced them marked the beginning of the early modern era
