Empires of Eurasia by Jeffrey Mankoff
How the collapse of empires helps explain the efforts of China, Iran, Russia, and Turkey to challenge the international order
“The early twenty-first century, argues Jeffrey Mankoff in this wide-ranging, deeply researched analysis, is shaping up to be a new age of empire in Eurasia”—Angela Stent, Survival
“Historically and empirically, the book is expansive: the depth and breadth of synthetic research here is significant.”—Joseph MacKay, E-International Relations
“[A] deep-ranging history and analysis.”—Steven Seegel, Russian Review
“Americans have a blind spot—they don’t study history. Especially history of other countries and civilizations. Mankoff digs into history to help us understand today’s complex geopolitics in Asia. This is history most relevant for today.”—John J. Hamre, president and CEO, Center for Strategic and International Studies
“Empires of Eurasia contributes to a discerning, productive discussion of pressing contemporary challenges. Ambitious in scope and depth, this timely, highly readable book will be a foundational text for international relations, area studies and national security curricula for many years to come.”—Matthew Rojansky, director of the Wilson Center’s Kennan Institute
“Mankoff brings an extraordinary understanding of history, geography, language, culture, and politics to this sweeping and ambitious book.”—James Goldgeier, American University
“In a narrative infused with historical depth and incisive analysis, Jeffrey Mankoff takes the reader through the geopolitics of a region we call Eurasia—still contested by Russia, Turkey, China, and Iran and burdened by old conflicts and contemporary convulsions of great power, imperial, competition. This is a must read to understand the backstory of conflicts from Crimea to Xinjiang.”—Fiona Hill, author of There Is Nothing for You Here
