Hintze Andrea. The Mughal Empire and Its Decline: An Interpretation of the Sources of Social Power

Ashgate Publishing, 1997. — 318 p.This volume addresses two problems relating to the Moghal Empire. It examines the major developments and recent trends in the historiography of the Moghal Empire and the post-Moghal state systems; and secondly, the debate concerns the notional usage of categories in historical analysis with the aim of developing a framework for new formulations of questions. The book aims to integrate the scattered and sometimes unsystematic research of the past 30 years into a theoretical framework, thus allowing better understanding of the Moghal Empire and its decline.
