Peripheral Concerns examines the influence of one “core” region of the ancient Near Eastern world — Egypt — on urban development in the southern Levant in the Early and Middle Bronze Ages, with emphasis on the relative stability and sustainability of this development in each era. The study utilizes a very broad scale “macro” approach to examine urban development using core-periphery theories, specifically in regard to southern Levantine-Egyptian interactions. While many studies examine urban development in both the Early Bronze Age and the Middle Bronze Age, few compare this phenomenon in the two periods. Likewise, there are few studies of urban development in the southern Levant that compare contemporary Egyptian policies in that region to those in Nubia, despite the fact that Egyptian activities linked the eastern Mediterranean, the Nile Valley, and Nubia into one interactive system. The broad chronological and geographic framework utilized in this study therefore allows for a new approach to urban development in the southern Levant.

"A lovely survey of a lot of material which is very helpful and informative for the EBA/MBA period. Cohen offers a new perspective on the importance of Egypt in the southern Levant which is valuable for scholars to mull over." - Professor Suzanne Richard, Department of History and Archaeology, Gannon University, Pennsylvania "This...volume presents a useful introduction to the current state of the study of urban development in the southern Levant, and will serve as a beneficial reference, particularly for those unfamiliar with the body of evidence for Egyptian interaction with the region during these early periods." --Ashley Fiutko Arico, Johns Hopkins University, Journal of Ancient Egyptian Interconnections, Vol. 11 (December 2016)
