Couverture de l’ouvrage Early Global Interconnectivity across the Indian Ocean World, Volume II
This volume investigates the emergence and spread of maritime commerce and interconnectivity across the Indian Ocean World?the world?s first ?global economy??from a longue durée perspective. Spanning from antiquity to the nineteenth century, these essays move beyond the usual focus on geographical sub-regions or thematic aspects to foreground inter- and trans-regional connections. Focusing on the role of religion in the expansion of commerce and exchange across the region, as well as on technology and knowledge transfer, volume II covers shipbuilding and navigation technologies, porcelain production, medicinal knowledge, and mules as a commodity and means of transportation.
Angela Schottenhammer is Professor of Non-European History at the University of Salzburg, Austria, and Research Director and Adjunct Professor at the Indian Ocean World Centre, McGill University, Canada.

Examines the role of Buddhist, Hindu, and Islamic religious networks in the development of trade and commerce in the India Ocean World

Considers the historical Indian Ocean World as an emerging “global economy,” tracing close interrelationships between commercial exchanges, the spread of knowledge, human movement, and migration

Appeals to scholars of Indian Ocean studies, maritime history, the history of science and technology, the history of religion, archaeology, and historical geography
