Author Douglas Streusand explains the origins of the three empires; compares the ideological, institutional, military, and economic contributors to their success; and analyses the causes of their rise, expansion, and ultimate transformation and decline. Streusand depicts the three empires as a part of an integrated international system extending from the Atlantic to the Straits of Malacca, emphasizing both the connections and the conflicts within that system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe presents the empires as complex polities in which Islam is one political and cultural component among many. The treatment of the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires incorporates contemporary scholarship, dispels common misconceptions, and provides an excellent platform for further study.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher‏: ‎ \u003cspan\u003eTaylor \u0026amp; Francis Inc\u003c\/span\u003e (\u003cspan\u003e5 Oct 2010\u003c\/span\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage‏: ‎ English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"pagination\"\u003e408 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 9780813313597\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions‏: ‎ \u003cspan\u003e228 x 152 x 23\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55545310904696,"sku":"709789","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0093\/8799\/9298\/files\/islamic-gunpowder-empires.jpg?v=1777891905","url":"https:\/\/shop.royalarmouries.org\/products\/islamic-gunpowder-empires-ottomans-safavids-and-mughals","provider":"Royal Armouries Museum Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
