This book explores how state power was defined in Late Antiquity and Medieval forms of state in Central, Eastern, and Northern Europe. Providing a range of geographic examples for researchers and postgraduate students to expand beyond their own area of specialisation. The authors offer answers to what exactly was a “statehood without a state” when it came to semi-peripheral and peripheral areas that were also perceived through the prism of the idea of a world system, network theory, or the concept of so-called negotiating borderlands. Providing new research in the field of networks and early medieval power. These questions are answered by established scholars from different countries and perspectives, providing a range of case studies for researchers and postgraduate students to further their own understanding of the topic.
