Power and Regions in Ancient States

An Egyptian and Mesoamerican Perspective,

Gary M. Feinman and Juan Carlos Moreno García

The aim of the Element is to provide a comprehensive comparison
of the basic organization of power in Mesoamerica and Egypt.
How power emerged and was exercised, how it reproduced itself,
how social units (from households to cities) became integrated
into political formation and how these articulations of power
expanded and collapsed over time. The resilience of particular
areas (Oaxaca, Middle Egypt), to the point that they preserved
a highly distinctive cultural personality when they were
included or not within states, may provide a useful guideline
about the basics of integration, negotiation and autonomy in
the organization of political formations.
