Ordering the Oceans, Ordering the World
Once the primary domain of naval and social historians, the field of maritime and oceanic history has become in the last decade part of larger and ongoing conversations in the historical discipline.1 Rather than simply riding the wave of global and transnational history, maritime and oceanic history has been contributing decisively to the recent inflexions of these fields. It has brought attention to issues of disconnection, power asymmetry, fric…
Prize court politics and regional ordering in the Caribbean
This article analyzes the practices and politics of Caribbean prize courts at the turn of the nineteenth century, in order to better understand the dynamics of these peculiar legal institutions on the ground in one of the most volatile inter-imperial maritime spaces of the period. The focus is on the daily operation of the courts, the relationship between different regional courts (within and between empires), and, importantly, on their role with…
Global History and International Relations
This chapter examines the relationship between global history and International Relations (IR) with the aim of showing how a closer engagement would enrich both disciplines. The chapter begins by charting the multiple forms that global history takes, highlighting some of the key issues at stake in the global turn. It then examines the ways in which IR has engaged with, or failed to engage with, these histories across a variety of theoretical appr…
International Relations in The Archive
This chapter considers the ways in which the growing field of Historical International Relations (IR) scholarship has been approaching historical source material, primary as well as secondary, and suggests some useful lessons from the methodological debates in disciplinary history. The chapter begins with a brief overview of the ways in which recent IR scholarship has approached the use of history in general and the use of historical sources more…
In a Sea of Empires
At the turn of the nineteenth century, the Caribbean was rife with revolutionary fervor and political turmoil. Yet, with such upheaval came unparalleled opportunities. In this innovative and richly detailed study, Jeppe Mulich explores the interconnected nature of imperial politics and colonial law in the maritime borderlands of the Leeward Islands, where British, Danish, Dutch, French, Spanish, and Swedish colonies both competed and cooperated w…
Transformation at the margins
Taking the phenomenon of empire as its starting point, this article seeks to provide a framework for addressing the question of how and why international systems change over time. Synthesising elements from network-relational analysis and practice theory, I argue that international systems are best thought of as being composed of multiple partially overlapping and interrelated hierarchical networks. These networks are made up of social ties – as …
Empire and Violence
When the 13 colonies in North America, the slave colony of Saint-Domingue, and the colonial territories of the Portuguese and Spanish Americas all rose against their imperial rulers, a new postcolonial order seemingly emerged in the Western Hemisphere. The reality of this situation forced political theorists and practitioners of the early 19th century to rethink the way in which they envisioned the nature and dynamics of international order. But …
The Space between Empires
The Space between Empires
In 1808, Thomas Maitland, the recently appointed British Governor of Ceylon, instructed his envoy to explain to the government in London that Ceylon was unlike other British colonies. The British controlled only a ring of territory, “a narrow stripe of land on the sea coast all round the island,” while the Kingdom of Kandy occupied the island’s center.1 With the colony’s “enemies” encircled, the British could afford to neglect the aging fortifica…
Microregionalism and intercolonial relations
This article proposes a new framework of analysis for studying inter-imperial spaces in global history. The analytical construct developed here – that of the inter-imperial microregion – highlights the density of networks and interactions found in certain areas with multiple competing polities. It provides a relational approach to the study of transnational and inter-polity exchanges that challenges traditional imperial narratives and suggests a …
