![]() ![]() Global historians often focus on the connections between Europe and China, confining the role of the Mongols to acceleration of the links between China and Europe. The aim of this lecture is to highlight the new research tracks on the Mongol Exchange and their radical break from the classical scholarship on the Mongol invasions and the Pax Mongolica. The new historiography on the Mongol empire engages with a plurality of approaches, combining the results of highly specialized studies and the new debates on global history, empirical research and bold interpretations. A number of recent publications have transformed our understanding of this world-shaping phenomenon – the ‘Mongol Exchange’. Under Mongol domination, faraway regions of the globe came into contact more than superficially and, for at least a century (roughly from the 1260s to the 1360s), were linked in a common network of exchange and production. ![]()
