International Order in Diversity. War, Trade and Rule in the Indian Ocean, Hardback

International relations scholars typically expect political communities to resemble one another the more they interact. This book examines how Portuguese explorers, rapacious Dutch and English trading companies, and mighty Islamic empires like the Mughals all interacted and co-existed in the Indian Ocean during the first phases of European global expansion.
