However, the term ʻempireʼ has remained ambiguous and there is still a vigorous debate on how to use and apply the term in various historical contexts and periods. The 13 contributions of this volume attempt to establish a more precise characterization of the notion of 'empire' by focusing on the specific phenomenon of 'Short-Term Empires' from different perspectives. They encompass a broad chronological and territorial range that deal with the topic from Central Asia to Great Britain, from the 5\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e c. BCE to the 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e. c. CE. By employing a cross-cultural and comparative approach, the papers of this volume enrich and stimulate the ongoing debate about empires in world history and their fundamental determinants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Rollinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3658487240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783658487249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer vs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Robert Rollinger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47580024111359,"sku":"9783658487249","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bebdbb91-cac7-4a3c-b588-045441b3a288.jpg?v=1763878270","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/empires-through-the-ages-robert-rollinger-9783658487249","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
