Globalizing Borderlands Studies in Europe and North America
Borderlands are complex spaces that can involve military, religious, economic, political, and cultural interactions—all of which may vary by region and over time. John W. I. Lee and Michael North bring together interdisciplinary scholars to analyze a wide range of border issues and to encourage a nuanced dialogue addressing the concepts and processes of borderlands. Gathering the voices of a diverse range of international scholars, Globalizing Borderlands Studies in Europe and North America presents case studies from ancient to modern times, highlighting topics ranging from religious conflicts to medical frontiers to petty trade. Spanning geographical regions of Europe, the Baltics, North Africa, the American West, and Mexico, these essays shed new light on the complex processes of boundary construction, maintenance, and crossing, as well as on the importance of economic, political, social, ethnic, and religious interactions in the borderlands. Globalizing Borderlands Studies in Europe and North America not only forges links between past and present scholarship but also paves the way for new models and approaches in future borderlands research.

This volume has been published to commemorate the 850th anniversary of Loccum Abbey near Hanover. Members of the Abbey and befriended scholars investigate the foundation and the major stages in the history of the Abbey. With the Reformation the properous Cistercian abbey was converted into an evangelical monastery. The abbots gained extensive political influence and the Abbey ran a seminary for preachers. The volume includes studies on the foundation of the Abbey, on the medieaval veneration of the saints, on the introduction of the Reformation and its subsumption under the principality of Calenberg. It concludes with observations on the work of a preacher seminary and on the future training of theologians.
