This book provides an analysis of the latest research findings in the field of world history, and includes terse articulations of modernity vis-à-vis empire. In doing so, the author brings together insights from both the disciplines of history and international relations into world systems, emphasising economic aspects, and offering a road map for the evolution of the field of world history. The book achieves this by critically analysing the works of Peter Fibiger Bang, Christopher Alan Bayly, Walter Scheidel, Krishnan Kumar, Xin Fan, Christopher A. Ford and Diego Olstein. The author includes discussions such as how the Roman empire impacted all subsequent Western empires, both early and modern, and current debates in world history and politics such as China’s rise. Niv Horesh is Affiliate Temporary Member at the Louis Freiberg Center for East Asian Studies, at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. A China specialist, he has over 20 years of experience ranging across the private sector, public service and academe. Over the course of his academic career, Niv has held teaching and research positions at, China Agricultural University, the University of New South Wales, Western Sydney University, and the University of Nottingham (UK). Niv’s research incorporates four main strands in the following order: Chinese History, World Monetary History, PRC Political Economy, and PRC Foreign Policy with emphasis on the Middle East.
