Bauern zwischen Herrschaft und Genossenschaft
Peasant relations to lords and Government. Scandinavia and the Alpine region 1000-1750
Tore Iversen, John Ragnar Myking and Gertrud Thoma (eds.)
This is the second anthology in a series of three from the project Peasants` control over land and resources from the High Middle Ages to the end of the early modern period – Norway, Scandinavia and the East-Alpine region, funded by the Norwegian Research Council. The first volume concentrated on ownership to land and peasant tenures. The present anthology in a more general way deals with vertical relations between peasants, landlords and territorial lords as well as with horizontal bonds and conflicts within the peasant society.
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology hosted a conference on the Anglo-American Middle East in Trondheim May 2 to May 4, 2005. A distinguished group of scholars accepted our invitations and gracefully agreed to rewrite their lectures for inclusion in this book. They also easily transcended the, perhaps, narrow theme of the conference, making their papers a sophisticated discussion, by and large, how the different great powers have, not always successfully, tried to control the Middle East. Hence the title of this book, Controlling the Uncontrollable? The Great Powers in the Middle East.
