Explore the complex relationship between nomadic dynasties and urban centers in this scholarly work from Brill's Inner Asian Library. For nearly a millennium, Turkic and Mongol rulers governed vast parts of Asia, often controlling major cities of significant size. This volume examines how these dynasties interacted with their subjects and the extent to which their lifestyles mirrored the urban populations they ruled. By bringing together specialists across multiple disciplines, including history and archaeology, this book provides a broad perspective on the location of rule. The research spans various periods, from pre-Chingissid Eurasia to nineteenth-century Iran. It is an essential resource for those studying the evolution of nomadic rule and its impact on urban development and city life throughout Inner Asian history.
