Description
Power and Politics in the Neo-Elamite Kingdom (c. 1100-520 BC)
documents one of the most obscure episodes in the political history of
ancient southwestern Iran. Elam's strategic position between the
Mesopotamian alluvial plain, the Persian Gulf and the Iranian highlands
made it a target for territorial expansion of the Neo-Assyrian empire.
However, the ability of the Neo-Elamite kings to engage in a political
alliance with the Neo-Babylonian kingdom, the flexibility of the
Neo-Elamite government system and the dynamics between the various ethnic
and social groups living within the multiple valleys of Elam protected the
Elamite heartland for centuries against the continuous military threat.
Elam became an indisputable partner in an inter-regional network of
Mesopotamian states until the emergence of the Persian empire reshaped the
political landscape of the Ancient Near East.
By re-evaluating the
dynastic lineage of Neo-Elamite kings, the geopolitical power of the
Neo-Elamite kingdom and the (trans-)formation the Elamite government
system in the 1st millennium BC through written and archaeological
evidence, this book aims to improve our understanding of the last
centuries of Elam.
