Petitioning and Power Relations in Pre-Modern Eurasia

Beschreibung

This is the first truly comparative analysis of pre-modern petitioning across Eurasia. The book analyzes petitioning as a tool of state, and not (as often assumed) an instrument of protest or imitation of religious prayer.

Autor

David Zaret received his D.Phil. from the University of Oxford where he was a student of Christopher Hill and Steven Lukes. From 1977 to 2018 he worked at Indiana University, from 2011-18 as its Vice President for International Affairs. In his early career he advocated a revival of historical sociology and creation of a comparative/historical section for the American Sociological Association, and published studies that span the fields of early modern British history and social theory. His current comparative research on Eurasian petitioning evolved in invited papers and keynote presentations organized by international networks of scholars (mostly historians) who study petitions.
