Zusammenfassung: | Long-distance connections loom large in global history. Their study, alongside comparative history and the history of common experiences, can be seen as one of three main approaches in this emerging field. The present chapter combines elements of all three approaches; here, we consider connections comparatively, while also isolating elements of common experience. We examine long-distance trade in and between Europe, the Mediterranean and West Africa, focusing on the period between about 1000 and 1600 ce. Many of the questions we pose could be applied to other regions, but a certain level of detail is needed in order to say anything meaningful about trust. |
