| Sommario/riassunto: | Over the past two centuries, the borderlands of Central, South, and West Asia have been transformed from the remote peripheries into areas of intense regional and international interest. In Roads and Rivals, Mahnaz Ispahani explores the crucial but unacknowledged role that land routes have played in the strategic, political, and economic evolution of those borderlands. |
