Globalizations and the Ancient World synopsis

In this book, Justin Jennings argues that globalization is not just a phenomenon limited to modern times. Instead, he claims that today's globalization is only the latest in a series of globalized movements in human history.

Using the civilizations of Uruk, Mississippi and Warrie as case studies, Jennings studies how the growth of the world's first major cities has radically changed their respective regions. Cities have required unprecedented exchange networks, creating distant flows of ideas, people and goods.

These flows have created clusters of interregional interaction that erode behavioral norms and local social structures. New and mixed cultures have emerged within these globalized regions.

Although these networks did not extend to the globe, people in these regions developed globalized cultures when they interacted with one another. Jennings explores how understanding globalization as a recurring event can help understand both past and present..
