My general intellectual inclination is toward generalization and seeing broad patterns and comparisons, so world history has always appealed to me. This book emerged as I gradually tried to synthesize various ideas that I have tried out in class to help students understand the broad sweep of global development. In the process, I came to new understandings myself. This is therefore, I hope, more than just a textbook. It is an interpretive history of our human species. Read it, think about it, and as I say in all my syllabi, have fun! Acknowledgments World history is a vast topic, and writing a book is a vast undertaking. I could not have accomplished this task by myself. My fi rst thanks go to several generations of students at Wabash College for their questions, insights, and enthusiasm for the subject. Classes at Loyola University in New Orleans, where I fi rst taught world his- tory, and Hawaii Pacific University in Honolulu also contributed to my thinking.

I must also thank my world history colleagues in the Wabash History Department, Rick Warner and Michelle Rhoades, for productive conversations over the years. Rick constantly reminded me of the importance of networks, and Michelle sug- gested how to build gender into the model of Agrarian hierarchies. Further thanks go to Ken Hall and Jim Connolly, who run the Small Cities conference at Ball State University. They have invited me to several of their conferences, asking me to com- ment on and tie together a fascinating range of papers on various topics, especially pre-industrial Indian Ocean networks. These challenges helped me to develop my model significantly. More immediately, Nadejda Popov University of West Georgia , Evan Ward Brigham Young University , Ras Michael Brown Southern Illinois Uni- versity, Carbondale , Eric Nelson Missouri State University , Tim Keirn California State University, Long Beach , Roger Kanet University of Miami , Robert Carriedo US Air Force Academy , Kevin Lawton Northern Arizona University , Andrew Devenney Mid-Michigan Community College as well as ten anonymous reviewers made valuable and insightful comments on the entire manuscript.

Their careful readings saved me from several embarrassing errors, as well as contributing a number of fascinating interpretive points. The team at Oxford University Press was terrific: Francelle Carapetyan, photo researcher, Keith Faivre, production editor, George Chakvetadze, cartographer, Michelle Koufopoulos and Jennifer Campbell, editorial assistants, and Michele Laseau, design director. xxi Morillo-V2-FM. First, my editor at Oxford University Press, Charles Cavaliere, has believed in this project from its conception. He has shepherded it through the byzantine byways of contracts and production, contrib- uted terrific ideas about presentation and a plethora of suggestions about illustra- tions, and in general he has been as much friend as editor.

The book is a better book because of him. Second, my mother, Carolyn Morillo, read every chapter as I fi nished writing each one. She provided intelligent comments and reactions and all the enthusiasm and encouragement a son could hope for. Finally, this book would not have been possible without the love, support, and intellectual partnership of my wife Lynne Miles-Morillo. A specialist in Early New High German linguistics and culture, she has been a sounding board for ideas and an invaluable editor of my prose. She has kept me on track and has been generous beyond what I could reasonably ask for. She has taken on the twin tasks of compil- ing, with me, the sourcebook that accompanies this text and writing the Instructor Resource Manual for it. She has done all this while we took care of three wonderful children, Robin, Dione, and Raphael. I dedicate this book to her. About the Author Stephen Morillo received his AB in History from Harvard College, where he gradu- ated Magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa.

He did a DPhil in History at Oxford University, which he attended as a Rhodes Scholar. Originally trained as a specialist in medieval European history, he has spent his career broadening his scope to en- compass the world from the Big Bang to the present. He has held appointments at Loyola University in New Orleans, where he fi rst taught world history, the University of Georgia, and Wabash College, where he cur- rently chairs the Social Sciences Division. He was for a year the NEH Distinguished Visiting Scholar in Diplomacy and Military Studies at Hawaii Pacific University. At Wabash he has held the Jane and Frederic M. Hadley Chair in History. He has won both the McLain-McTurnan-Arnold Research Fellowship and the McLain- McTurnan-Arnold Excellence in Teaching Award. Morillo has authored numerous books and articles, including War in World History: Society, Technology and War from Ancient Times to the Present McGraw Hill, , a military world history.

He co-edited Encounters in World History: Sources and Themes from the Global Past McGraw Hill, , a world history sourcebook, and edited ten volumes of The Haskins Society Journal. He is President of De Re Militari: The Society for Medieval Military History and serves on several editorial boards. He currently lives in Crawfordsville, Indiana, with his wife Lynne Miles- Morillo, his three children, Robin, Dione, and Raphael, and two rambunctious cats. In addition to history, he enjoys painting, cartooning, playing music, and cooking. The Model Imagine the past as a vast mansion made up of many different rooms. Most world history textbooks take students in through the front door and give them a room-by-room tour of the mansion, pointing out the shape of each room, the furniture, and all the art on the walls. Some rooms lead to others, some are shaped similarly to still others even though they are not con- nected, and the tour guide may occasionally point such things out.

But the great variety of rooms and the fur- niture and art that each contains remain the main focus until fi nally we exit out another door. The conventional museum tour pieces may stand out to them, and they may remember approach to studying world history: visitors encounter a whirl roughly what their route through the mansion was. of impressions, but they do not probe beneath the surface The tour guide almost always takes them from the to acquire a deeper understanding. oldest rooms to the most recent. But they probably cannot explain why the mansion was arranged the way it was, nor understand in what other ways the mansion might have been built. This book conducts a similar tour. The chronological route is roughly the same, though perhaps divided up a little differently. But the tour is conducted, in effect, with a blueprint of the mansion in hand. That information places the artwork of the mansion in a different context, as well.

Those components consist of two sorts of structures, networks and hierarchies, and the cultural frames and cultural screens that arise from, shape, and give meaning to the structures. These words are central to our model and have a specific meaning in this book. Networks and Hierarchies The rooms of the mansion can represent hierarchies, or what are more commonly referred to as states, countries, kingdoms, empires or even nations. These rooms Morillo-V2-FM. The Frameworks approach: understand the underlying structure of the mansion. and their furnishings are the standard topics of world history. The problem is that the guidebook then gets so large that nobody wants to carry it around. Early rooms might have had little more than some primitive clay pipe plumb- ing, but as time went on, the mansion came to include gas lines, central air and heat, electrical wires, and phone and cable hookups. And now that the mansion has a wireless LAN and Wi-Fi, the most recent rooms have become so connected that one can begin to question whether the walls of the different rooms really divide the mansion much at all.

The rooms themselves threaten to become virtual. This guidebook includes blueprints of the mansion that show the different construction techniques of rooms from different periods, as well as all the wiring and other systems that connect the rooms. Indeed, it focuses on such issues, in- cluding the problems that room builders faced in trying to incorporate all those network connections into the workings of a room. In other words, this is a book about networks, hierarchies, and their complex intersections: the framework in which the mansion was built.

This is because the story that our blueprint tells is not the aggregated stories of all the rooms, but a more unified story of the construction of Morillo-V2-FM. It is a framework for understand- ing the mansion as a whole. How do we account for this in a model of networks and hierarchies? How, in other words, do we account for culture in a structural model? Cultural Frames and Screens In the MGM classic The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy Gale and her little dog Toto find themselves hurtling through a tornado in their small Kansas farmhouse. Well, some of the issues that the people are talking about seem a bit strange. But then, there was an angry woman on a bicycle in Kansas who wanted to send Toto to the pound. Kansas and Oz: different colors, different cultural frame values. Top: Mary Evans Picture the audience are not inclined to disagree with her. The color shift in Wizard of Oz is a visual symbol of the division between two worlds with very differ- ent cultural frames, that is, different fundamental assumptions about how and why the world works the way it does.

We know that the color of each world is a frame value or a visual symbol of a frame value, at least because nobody in either place mentions it. Brighten the place up a bit. The color shift in Wizard of Oz shows us how cultural frames work. The people in any particular room of our mansion, such as the Han China room, create their own cultural frame. They may have inherited Morillo-V2-FM. The color may be influenced by the shape or function of the room, but it also affects how the room functions, how the people see it, and what kind of art they want to put on the walls. Most of the people in the room will probably assume that all rooms are that color, just naturally.

Only people who move between rooms—people who work in the networks connecting rooms, like merchants, or accidental travelers like Dorothy, or people like us taking a retrospective tour of lots of rooms—notice the differences. As we noted, arguments arise within each room. What art should go on that wall? Several different paintings might fit, given the background color. Some issues might, in their fundamental form, show up in several different rooms. Are there universals in human culture, things that look the same no matter what cultural frame we see them through? Dorothy makes friends in both Kansas and Oz. Friendship, or making people angry, might be universal. But we have to be very careful about what we think is universal. Something that looks universal may just be colored in harmony with our own frame.

The fact of friendship or anger might mean very little without being put into appropriate action, and the appropriateness of the action is colored by the cultural frame within which it occurs. This is how we account for culture in this structural model. The Use of Models in History Accounting for culture is vital because culture, in the form of both frames invisible from within the culture and screens how cultures view themselves , provides much of the motivating force for change, making the model dynamic. And the model must cap- ture the dynamism of history. Models would be easier to build but also less interesting if what they modeled were static.

The tendency of models to portray fixed rather than fluid structures is one reason that many historians are suspicious of models. The other is that models focus on commonalities across cases, and historians are trained to look for the interesting differences that make each historical case unique. Models, in this view of the discipline of history, are for sociologists, economists, and other social scientists. A model is a theory. This book operates on the assumption that making the explanatory model behind its account of world history explicit has several advantages.

First, explicit models or theories, because they are consciously de- veloped and open to inspection, are likely not certain, but likely to be more sophisti- cated and nuanced than implicit assumptions about how the world works. Another way of putting this is that every historian has his or her own cultural frame through which he or she views history, a frame that colors his or her view of the past. Furthermore, if the model is out there for every- one to see, others can adjust, correct, or modify it so that it works even better, since the distortions imposed by individual cultural frames can often cancel each other out. Making a model or theory explicit has another advantage. It allows the model to be tested against new evidence. This book cites plenty of evidence in support of its view of the past, giving examples from a wide range of cultures and societies. It is not, however—and cannot be—exhaustive.

It provides a model, a conceptual framework, that in theory applies to any evidence. Thus, teachers and students can bring their own examples, their own special interests, to the table, not simply as another interesting example of what has happened in the past, but as evidence that can be used to test the model Does this new case fit? Do we need to modify the model to account for this case? and that can be interpreted in terms of the model, illuminating similarities and contrasts with other cases. So explicit theories or models allow for collective self-correction and for testing against evidence. This is the way science works, in fact. Thus, in a way, the explicit model that shapes this text makes it more like a science textbook than a typical world history text.

Second, those interpretations will often be aimed not at establishing basic facts, but at deciding what they, and the larger story they are part of, mean. History is a form of story telling. Storytelling is one of the most basic and pervasive ways in which humans make their world meaningful. As storytellers and makers of meaning, historians are allied with their colleagues in the humanities. Subjectivity is therefore involved in doing history. Each chapter contains a box called Morillo-V2-FM. Overview Although the method, the analytical model, employed by this book is different from the methodology of other world history textbooks, the model is deployed within a basically chronological framework for examining world history that should look familiar to those who have looked at the topic before.

Some chapters range much more broadly and thematically than others. Since the issues and developments in world history are continuous and proceed at different paces in different places, the chronological divisions of the eight main parts of the book and their constituent chapters sometimes overlap. They are, furthermore, built around a periodization, or chronological division, of this book that is explained further in Chapter 1 and which is summarized in the chart below. The eight parts are divided into two volumes as follows. It therefore covers the Hunter-Gatherer Era and part of the Early Agrarian Era.

Part II, Transformations: BCE to CE, covers the rest of the Early Agrarian Era and analyzes the changes and developments that took place as those communities became more complex—changes that resulted in the emergence of cultural and political traditions still recognizable today. Those traditions and the many societies that embodied and elaborated them are the subject of Part III, Traditions: to The growing interaction of those communities produced the exchange and confl icts analyzed in Part IV, Contradictions: to Parts III and IV together cover the High Agrarian Era. Volume 2 starts with the Late Agrarian Era, in which the increasing influence of connections and exchanges between different human communities becomes more visible, an era covered in Part V, Connections: to Eventually, those exchanges produced a major period of transformation whose contours are traced in Part VI, Convulsions, to Those transformations produced a tumultuous century described in Part VII, Crises: to In the overlap between the Parts, we shift from the Early Industrial Era to the High Industrial Era.

A fi nal sec- tion, Part VIII, Modernity: Since , applies the analytical model to the major issues and developments of the world in the last forty years and continues our cover- age of the High Industrial Era.

Frameworks of World History: Periodization. A global map, placed just after the opening story, that highlights the key places discussed in the chapter and includes visual images from each place that illustrate the themes of the chapter. In the course of each chapter, two or three key ideas are highlighted in the margin.

These are basic tendencies—not quite rules, but close— of human societies principles or long-term trends of world history patterns. A page of photographs of cultural artifacts from different places, which are thematically related and which illustrate the role of such artifacts in how people constructed their identities. A brief thought problem, placed at the end of each chapter, that asks you to apply the conceptual tools of the model. There are three types. Frame Your World asks for comparisons between the past and the world today. Extending the Frame asks you to apply the model to a society that the chapter does not have room to talk about. At the end of each chapter is a brief list of books that provide more information about the main topics of the chapter. A separate book that provides 4—6 primary sources per chapter, with introductions and questions, specifically chosen to go with Frameworks. Provides outlines, key terms, content review questions, and varied classroom activities.

This is, frankly, a nod to convention that this author has made somewhat reluctantly. The original intent was to give the book its own convention for conveying the difference between dates falling before or after Year 1 in the calendar used in much of the world today. Dates before that year, which are usually referred to with the abbreviations BC Before Christ or BCE Before Common Era , would have been shown with a minus sign as negative numbers. For example, the Battle of Marathon took place, in such a system, in — rather than BC or BCE. Dates after the Year 1, which are usually referred to with the abbreviations AD Anno Domini or CE Common Era , would have been desig- nated either with a plus sign if they need to be distinguished from minus dates, or with no sign.

This admittedly idiosyncratic system seemed preferable for reasons of clarity and typographical simplicity. The designations BC and AD make explicit the Christian origins of this system of dating. While acknowledging the attempt to be more culturally inclusive, we wanted to adopt our system of plusses and minuses mainly because it struck us as typographically cleaner and conceptually clearer. But for the sake of making an already different book more accessible, we went with convention. Perhaps in a second edition. Using the Model: Key Terms The periodization and the model used in this book entail the use of some specialized terms. The terms are defi ned briefly in the Glossary at the end of the book. Scribes bureaucracy Warriors military Priests religion Nomadic warriors Gender Morillo-V2-FM. First, we will run through a chronological overview of global developments.

This will take us from the emergence of modern humans as a species, in the context of a much longer natural his- tory of the universe, through the Hunter-Gatherer Era and to the end of the High Agrarian Era. These are the tools that this book uses to analyze world history. Chronological Overview The universe is about The earth is about 4. Life on earth is about 3. Complex multicellular life is around million years old. Human life, even counting our most distant ancestors after our evolutionary line split from chimpanzees around 6 million years ago, is thus a tiny fraction of universal history. Our chronology begins, in effect, when early hominins, the members of our family of species, began using stone tools more than 2 million years ago.

They had been gathering food all along. They started hunting animals perhaps 1. The Hunter-Gatherer Era had begun. The Hunter-Gatherer Era Evolution produced Homo sapiens, the modern human species, about , years ago. But the extremely slow change in early human tool kits indicates that our ear- lier ancestors and even our cousin species that existed when our species emerged, including Neanderthals, did not think the way we do. Even the earliest modern humans living before about 70, years ago seem still to have seen the world dif- ferently from us. The Early Hunter-Gatherer Era was inhabited by people who seem to have been much less self-conscious than we are. The Cognitive-Linguistic Revolution and the High Hunter-Gatherer Era Then, around 70, years ago, modern humans stopped being a tiny, isolated species in East Africa.

They spread all over the globe in the next 60, years see Figure S. What changed? This book posits that this was when humans shifted from older, non-symbolic forms of communication to our modern use of word-and-syntax language and, as a result, symbolic and metaphorical thought: a Cognitive-Linguistic Revolution. This shift Morillo-V2-FM. Unlike earlier forms of communication, modern language, though it changes and divides constantly, can be translated from one version to another and so creates the capacity for humans to create networks across which they exchange goods and ideas. Language and symbolic thought make people see the world in terms of symbolic status and so create the capacity for people to construct complex hierarchies, societies that rank people according to attributed status.

Finally, language and symbolic thought cause people to interpret themselves and to seek meaning in the world. Constructing identity and making mean- ing are the activities represented by the cultural frames and screens of our model. The Cognitive-Linguistic Revolution made humans culturally inventive and therefore capable of adapting to a far broader range of climates than before. The result was the global spread of humanity. See Figure S. The Late Hunter-Gatherer Era By the time humans occupied nearly the entire globe between 20, and 15, years ago, the Ice Age was coming to an end. A warming climate benefited some regions but created challenges for some of the most densely occupied parts of the hunter-gatherer world, where some people had already largely abandoned the nomadic life of most hunter-gatherers and had settled in permanent locations.

The spread of Homo sapiens. Compare to the limited range of Homo erectus. Hierarchies were intensive. Finally, hierarchies were based in rural production. They might have urban centers, and indeed cities were central to most though not all state-level societies. But the role of cities as centers of exchange in networks differed from the role of cities as centers of the concentration of power and of people who wielded power. There were synergies between networks and hierarchies. Network wealth could be tapped by hierarchy builders.

But as a result of their fundamental differences, networks and hierarchies coexisted uneasily. The tense intersection of networks and hierarchies was mediated by cultural mecha- nisms, that is, by the manipulation of cultural screen images by people in both net- works and hierarchies. Three types of people operated across the intersections of networks and hierarchies and created such images. Wise practitioners were the mer- chants and other sorts of people who made a living from operating within networks.

Worldly travelers crossed between networks and hierarchies and made a living telling stories about each. The Merchant Dilemma The most important symptom of the tense intersection of networks and hierarchies was the merchant dilemma. The movement not just of goods but of people and ideas accounts for many of the tensions created by the intersection of networks and hierarchies. Hierarchies in the Agrarian Era, again, were built for stability. And yet the goods and even ideas that merchants could bring into a hierarchy, especially if they were rare and exotic, offered a way for elites with exclusive access to them to further Morillo-V2-FM. This contradiction most often expressed itself in elite attitudes toward merchants. The goods that merchants carried might be highly valued.

But merchants themselves domestic as well as for- eign were widely mistrusted by Agrarian elites. Management took three common forms. Merchants often found themselves restricted to certain quarters of major cities, both in their own hierarchies and especially when they traveled to major foreign trade cities. The second was regulation. Third and most common was co-opting. Elite-dominated cultural frames channeled or neutralized the potential threat posed by merchant activity by causing merchants to buy into those same elite values. We can model three main spheres of maritime activity as a set of overlapping circles representing the types of people who worked on the water or made use of the expertise of sailors and navigators: navies, pirates, and merchants see Figure S.

The circles overlap because boundaries were not hard and fast between these types. Merchants and pirates, traders and raiders, although apparently and often in reality at odds, were often the same people, whose quest for wealth took different forms depending on opportunities. We can also view these three spheres in terms of three different dichotomies or oppositions that set one maritime type against the other two. States and their navies were expressions of hierarchy, whereas merchants and pirates were essentially network phenomena. Among merchants, networks of trust took formal shape in partnerships and other ways of raising capital, sharing and spreading risk, and connecting markets. That sort of activity, especially between about and , tended to coalesce around two very different models of organization: navies of imperial defense; and the activity of predatory sea peoples. Taxes on trade often funded such navies. Ships and experienced sailors moved from the subsistence and mercantile spheres of maritime activity to the military sphere via government direc- tion or appropriation.

Such navies were often technologically advanced and well adapted to the particular marine geographies where they operated. Finally, such navies tried, generally, to sink enemy ships, a task for which their technology was also well developed. But this was not a common model because such navies were expen- sive and because not many large empires faced naval threats or cared much about policing the seas. Indeed, naval warfare was essentially amphibious down through Sort order. Munkhtulga Ganbat rated it it was amazing Jul 23, Apr 18, Erin rated it did not like it.

But elsewhere, great cities-among them, Constantinople, Baghdad, Chang'an, and Tenochtitlan-thrived. This urban growth also accelerated in parts of the world that came under European control, such as Philadelphia in the nascent United States. As the Industrial Revolution swept through in the nineteenth century, cities grew rapidly.

Their expansion resulted in a slew of social problems and political disruptions, but it was accompanied by impressive measures designed to improve urban life. Meanwhile, colonial cities bore the imprint of European imperialism. Finally, the book turns to the years since , guided by a few themes: the impact of war and revolution; urban reconstruction after ; migration out of many cities in the United States into growing suburbs; and the explosive growth of "megacities" in the developing world.

In fact, Agrarian states leaned heavily on symbolism in place of real functionality. Law decrees were often meant to encourage people to settle their own disputes; public works symboli- cally displayed the power and authority of the ruler. Thus, Agrarian states were forced to rely on the operation of social organiza- tions that continued to exist beneath the state, including families, religious associa- tions, guilds, and so forth. And ulti- mately, all Agrarian states had both inadequate policing and legal systems and very high levels of daily violence by modern standards.

Because the balance between state power and the power of other forms of social organization was delicate, and because elites aimed above all at keeping themselves in power, Agrarian Era state- level hierarchies were built to resist change. As social animals who see the world in terms of symbolism and metaphor, humans inevitably live in com- munities that generate collective understandings of the world. Aggregate or com- munal cultures become powerful, indeed central, elements in the cultural identity of the individuals in the community. We must be careful not to think of these cul- tures as static or as having an existence independent of the people whose individual perceptions add up to the collective. Cultures are always under construction and reconstruction as the individuals in a community interpret—and contest the inter- pretations of—new events, discoveries, and so forth.

Furthermore, there are always divisions, or subcultures, within cultures and further subdivisions of subcultures. Nor are cultures exclusive. Individuals can think of themselves as belonging to dif- ferent groups depending on the context. No such imagined group is any more real than any other, and many may overlap. Thus, as long as we bear in mind the collective, contested, and constantly reconstructed nature of cultures, and as long as we pick Morillo-V2-FM. Every society, no matter what its size or com- plexity, makes claims about the meaning of the universe and about its own identity.

These are the images projected onto a cultural screen. The obvious one is the cultural screen itself. This is where contested issues—debates between different schools of thought, competing reli- gious faiths, or political philosophies and factions—all show up. The multiplicity of issues and the emphasis on debates here are the reminders that no culture is monolithic. The less obvious but more important element is the cultural frame. This frame shapes not only the debates within it, but also ideas that might come from the outside world onto the screen. The same will tend to happen to the ideas of members of the community who fail to accept the boundaries of the cultural frame.

Depending on the culture, those with such ideas may face unpleas- ant consequences. We will see many examples of these sorts of cultural dynamics throughout this book, but an immediate example of the difference between the screen and the frame can be drawn from modern US politics. Democrats and Re- publicans argue about many issues, such as environmental policy or how to run a solvent retirement scheme. Those issues show up on the US screen. But they happen within a frame that assumes that elections and constitutional rules are the proper way to run politics. Two developments differentiate the structures of culture in state-level societies from those up through chiefdoms. First, the realm of input into the cultural screen is even more restricted than in chiefdoms. Above the line of the Divide, the elites of a society tended to speak and, crucially, write a single language that acted as a marker of elite status. This was often therefore an archaic language imbued with the prestige of antiquity and prior achievement.

Input into the cultural frame and the screen reflect the emergence of the Great Cultural Divide, itself a reflection of the fundamental division of such societies into elites and non-elites. And given slow communi- cations, oral cultures inevitably were also localistic, with dialects constantly diverg- ing, making non-elite culture multicultural to at least some extent. Rising Population, Growing Complexity The presentation so far of the elements of our model has emphasized elements that stayed the same across time. But a steady trend is embedded in the different parts of the model. As population rose rapidly in the High Hunter-Gatherer Era and the Early Agrarian, more slowly at other times , the complexity of each element of the model tended to increase as well. The different models of hierarchy show this explicitly. States developed last, but once on the his- torical stage they began slowly to spread at the expense of all other forms of hierarchy.

Networks, too, became more complex. Cities arose, dense local networks devel- oped. Finally, the complexity and sophistication of cultural frame values and screen images increased over time as well. Axial Age inquiries into the nature of the cosmos, the foundations of social order, and individual ethical action are a clear in- stance of this. We noted earlier that both Axial Age developments and the rise of the salvation religions provided rulers with better technologies of social control, another way of measuring the growing complexity of cultural frames and screens. Hierarchies and Other Hierarchies Aside from rising complexity, we can discern several other patterns and trends in the interactions of hierarchies with other hierarchies.

Grabbing new agricultural territory was virtually the only option. Warfare that crossed cultural boundaries could be especially dangerous. Intracultural warfare, war that pitted foes who shared a common cultural understanding of war, was more predictable and thus often more limited. Wars that crossed cultural bound- aries came in two types. Intercultural warfare happened when two cultures met with no previous understanding of the other. No rules created largely pragmatic re- sponses on both sides; these could be unpredictable and less limited than intracul- tural warfare. But intercultural enemies tended to come to know each other and to acculturate, leading back to intracultural war or to subcultural warfare. Subcultural warfare happened when two subcultures of a larger culture fought. The Nomad-Sedentary Cycle One of the most important cultural divides in the Agrarian Era was between settled, agriculturally based sedentary societies on the one hand and nomadic, pastoralist soci- eties which depended on domesticated animals but not plants on the other.

The pas- toralists of the central Asian steppes, who domesticated horses and therefore were able to deploy armies of skilled horse archers, were the most important pastoralists in the world. Their interactions with their sedentary neighbors followed a cyclical pattern. Nomadic tribes who lived nearest to sedentary societies usually established regular trade contacts. But their potential military advantage over sedentary armies, combined with their disadvantageous trade position—nomads needed sedentary products more Morillo-V2-FM. Regular trade, raid, and tribute had two effects on nomadic society. First, the nomads absorbed some of the cultural values of their sedentary neighbors, often in terms of political ideology. Second, since the tribal leader of a successful raiding tribe could use the goods he col- lected to build up his following by giving it away the same rules applied on the steppes as in settled hierarchies, in this case , he could build a larger, more dangerous coalition and raise himself to the level of a major chief.

At this point, the powerful nomadic chief could be tempted to solidify his access to the goods produced by the sedentary society by conquering it. The conqueror, now with the resources of both nomadic and sedentary worlds at his disposal, could reinvigorate and expand the society he had conquered. But the fundamental incompatibility of the pastoralist and agricultural economies and the continuing cultural mistrust that incompatibility generated meant that, usually within a generation, the united worlds would split again, and the cycle would restart. The cycle is illustrated in Figure S. This cycle never exactly repeated itself and the model is an idealization of his- torical relations that were always complicated in detail because each iteration of the cycle created new cultural combinations and innovations. Syncretism, the mixing of beliefs and cultures, was in fact one major result of the operation of the cycle. The other was that over the long term, the area under the control of the sedentary soci- eties gradually expanded, mostly because of the demographic advantage that seden- tary societies accumulated over pastoralists, since agriculture could support far more people than herding.

The Intersection of Networks and Hierarchies The most important theme of this book is generated by the interaction of the sepa- rate elements of our model. That theme is that the intersection of networks and hierarchies was a tense and creative meeting place that generated many of the most important developments in world history. Networks and hierarchies coexisted: every human community had both its own internal organization as well as connections to other communities. In other words, networks and hierarchies inevitably intersected. A brief comparison of the fundamental characteristics of each type of structure reveals this tension. Networks were horizontal structures. That is, they connected separate commu- nities or societies without necessarily placing one over the other. This is because they were also cooperative.

It is clearest in the case of the economic aspect of network Morillo-V2-FM. The cycle of nomadic-sedentary interaction. Rise of a nomadic coalition. The full cycle summarized. They were extensive, connecting communities that could be widely separated geographically and politically. Finally, they were focused on urban centers. The tentacles of trade and cultural exchange of course reached into the countryside of farming villages and pastoral lands, but the great centers of exchange tended to be cities. Hierarchies, on the other hand, were vertical structures, as the name implies.

The essence of a hierarchy was the ranking of social groups above and below each other. This is because they were coercive structures especially complex hierarchies , which is another way of saying that they were political rather than economic. That is, it made cooperation work in an unequal environment. Hierarchies were intensive. Finally, hierarchies were based in rural production. They might have urban centers, and indeed cities were central to most though not all state-level societies. But the role of cities as centers of exchange in networks differed from the role of cities as centers of the concentration of power and of people who wielded power. There were synergies between networks and hierarchies.

Network wealth could be tapped by hierarchy builders. But as a result of their fundamental differences, networks and hierarchies coexisted uneasily. The tense intersection of networks and hierarchies was mediated by cultural mecha- nisms, that is, by the manipulation of cultural screen images by people in both net- works and hierarchies. Three types of people operated across the intersections of networks and hierarchies and created such images.

Merchants often found themselves restricted to certain quarters of major cities, both in their own hierarchies and especially when they traveled to major foreign trade cities. First, we will run through a chronological overview of global developments. This is because they were coercive structures especially complex hierarchies , which is another way of saying that they were political rather than economic. The pas- toralists of the central Asian steppes, who domesticated horses and therefore were able to deploy armies of skilled horse archers, were the most important pastoralists in the world.

In such confl icts, both sides saw the other as the embodiment of evil and tried to annihilate the other. Hierarchies in the Agrarian Era, again, were built for stability.
