Description

Title of the project: " Institutional Resilience to Climate Change: Lessons from Bronze Age Mesopotamia". Albeit the short run effect of negative climate shocks has sadly become evident, their long run institutional impact is still poorly understood. To clarify this issue, the INRES project will construct and credibly analyze the first comprehensive data set on the agrarian innovations, formal and informal institutions and alternative economic activities developed by the first recorded stable states—i.e., Bronze Age Mesopotamia, Egypt and Longshan culture—to tackle the 4.2-kiloyear BP aridification event.
