In presenting the first English-language history of the Khanate of Khoqand (1709-1876), Scott C. Levi examines the rise of that extraordinarily dynamic state in the Ferghana Valley. Levi reveals the many ways in which the Khanate's integration with globalizing forces shaped political, economic, demographic, and environmental developments in the region, and he illustrates how these same forces contributed to the downfall of Khoqand. \u003cbr\u003e To demonstrate the major historical significance of this vibrant state and region, too often relegated to the periphery of early modern Eurasian history\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003eLevi applies a \"connected history\" methodology showing in great detail how Central Asians actively influenced policies among their larger imperial neighbors--notably tsarist Russia and Qing China. This original study will appeal to a wide interdisciplinary audience, including scholars and students of Central Asian, Russian, Middle Eastern, Chinese, and world history, as well as the study of comparative empire and the history of globalization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott C.
