The Mongol expansion demonstrates the strategic value of psychological warfare.

Through cultivated reputation and the spread of fear, resistance could be reduced or eliminated before direct confrontation.

Narrative and perception functioned as force multipliers within their campaigns.

Mongols from the West, co-edited by the IFI's Dr. Bruno de Nicola, has now been published with its Spanish translation, Mongoles en el Oeste!

Mongoles en el Oeste explora el papel de los reinos ibéricos en la integración euroasiática impulsada por el Imperio mongol en los siglos XIII y XIV. A través de estudios rigurosos y basados en fuentes documentales, el volumen propone una reflexión crítica sobre la expansión europea medieval y sus vínculos con procesos globales. Al conectar la historia peninsular con la historiografía del mundo mongol, esta obra invita a repensar los orígenes de la globalización desde una perspectiva intercontinental que pone en diálogo a Europa, Asia y el mundo islámico.
