Empires of the Sea: Maritime Power Networks in World History de Rolf Strootman

Empires of the Sea: Maritime Power Networks in World History: Cultural Interactions in the Mediterranean, cartea 4

Rolf Strootman, Floris van den Eijnde, Roy van Wijk
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 oct 2019
Empires of the Sea brings together studies of maritime empires from the Bronze Age to the Eighteenth Century. The volume aims to establish maritime empires as a category for the (comparative) study of premodern empires, and from a partly ‘non-western’ perspective. The book includes contributions on Mycenaean sea power, Classical Athens, the ancient Thebans, Ptolemaic Egypt, The Genoese Empire, power networks of the Vikings, the medieval Danish Empire, the Baltic empire of Ancien Régime Sweden, the early modern Indian Ocean, the Melaka Empire, the (non-European aspects of the) Portuguese Empire and Dutch East India Company, and the Pirates of Caribbean.

Recenzii

"I highly recommend Empires of the Sea to ancient historians studying Mediterranean empires. Altogether, the volume should act as a gateway for historians to think comparatively and to challenge what we take for granted about Greco-Roman imperialism." - Tim Sorg, in: BMCR 2020.05.21
''Insgesamt bietet der Band einen gelungenen Überblick über die vielfältigen Erscheinungsformen maritim basierter Hegemonien und Reichsbildungen von der mykenischen Epoche bis in die globale Frühe Neuzeit, der Spezialistinnen und Spezialisten aller darin vertretenen historischen Epochen empfohlen werden kann. Wenngleich bestimme Aspekte häufiger thematisiert werden (Netzwerke, ökonomische Interessen, overlap verschiedener Einflusssphären) und so Vergleiche und den Blick auf Kontinuitäten erlauben, so ist der Band als Ganzes eher ein Zeugnis der historischen Vielfalt denn der Homogenität maritim orientierter Politik.Insgesamt bietet der Band einen gelungenen Überblick über die vielfältigen Erscheinungsformen maritim basierter Hegemonien und Reichsbildungen von der mykenischen Epoche bis in die globale Frühe Neuzeit, der Spezialistinnen und Spezialisten aller darin vertretenen historischen Epochen empfohlen werden kann.
