Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the Timurid era under Shahrukh, the book delves into the intricate dynamics between government and society in medieval Iran. It presents a comprehensive view of various social strata, including the ruling dynasty, city elites, provincial leaders, and religious groups like the ulama' and Sufi. Key themes include governance without a monopoly of force and the stability of a society with dispersed power. Aimed at both students and scholars, it offers a fresh perspective on political dynamics, civil-military relations, and the interplay between religious and ruling authorities.
