The chapters present new work on the sources and processes of political communication in European and Chinese history partly through juxtaposing and combining formerly separate historiographies and partly through direct comparison. Contrary to earlier comparative work on empires and state formation, which aimed to explain similarities and differences with encompassing models and new theories of divergence, the goal is to further conversations between historians by engaging regional historiographies from the bottom up. 410 0$aGlobal Chinese histories, 250-1650. 606 $aCommunication in politics$zChina$xHistory 606 $aCommunication in politics$zEurope$xHistory 615 0$aCommunication in politics$xHistory. 615 0$aCommunication in politics$xHistory. 676 $a320.951014 702 $aDe Weerdt$b Hilde Godelieve Dominique 702 $aMorche$b Franz-Julius 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838239503321 996 $aPolitical communication in Chinese and European history, 800-1600$94135617 997 $aUNINA
