Medieval Networks in East Central Europe explores the economic, cultural, and religious forms of contact between East Central Europe and the surrounding world in the eight to the fifteenth century. The sixteen chapters are grouped into four thematic parts: the first deals with the problem of the region as a zone between major power centers; the second provides case studies on the economic and cultural implications of religious ties; the third addresses the problem of trade during the state formation process in the region, and the final part looks at the inter- and intraregional trade in the Late Middle Ages.
Supported by an extensive range of images, tables, and maps, Medieval Networks in East Central Europe demonstrates and explores the huge significance and international influence that East Central Europe held during the medieval period and is essential reading for scholars and students wishing to understand the integral role that this region played within the processes of the Global Middle Ages.

'This multi-disciplinary volume brings together a wealth of case studies on the history and archaeology of East Central Europe. With their focus on connectivity, these contributions challenge the notion of a static and bounded medieval Europe, traditionally dominated by studies of the West.'
Aleks Pluskowski, University of Reading, UK
'This book presents important research by leading and emerging scholars on an often neglected region of Europe. The essays in The Medieval Networks in East Central Europe cover a wide variety of topics with a particular emphasis on trade relations, both within the region and with Western Europe and Asia, which will appeal to medievalists in general, not just specialists in this region. In fact, the essays in this book demonstrate that the medieval history of this region is an essential part not only of European history but also of Europe’s place in world history.'
Paul Milliman, University of Arizona, USA
