Book Concept History of Global Globalization is a scholarly study of the development of global economic connections from ancient times to the modern era. From the Royal Road of the Persian kings to the Great Silk Road, from the first maritime expeditions to the transoceanic trade routes of today-the book traces the creation and evolution of international trade and economic relations across centuries. Special attention is paid to the economic consequences of migration, wars, and epidemics, as well as the role of transportation innovations and administrative institutions in expanding trade networks. The book offers an interdisciplinary analysis based on historical, archaeological, and economic sources, uncovering the deep-rooted mechanisms of globalization long before its contemporary stage.
