Introduction
This article introduces the various articles in this forum. It first sets the scene by showing why the maritime sector forms an excellent case study to investigate risk and uncertainty in the premodern world.

Coda
This coda takes stock of the articles in the forum and subsequently draws some lessons from the articles on the question of how to deal with risk and uncertainty in the present. It argues that looking at how risk and uncertainty were perceived and dealt with in the early modern world allows one to envisage new solutions to deal with the major problems facing human society today, such as climate change
Royal Companies, Risk Management and Sovereignty in Old Regime France

These policies illustrate that women played a crucial role in the Chamber as underwriters, creditors, commissi…
