Abstract:

Privateering has often been portrayed as a particularly risky business. Some historians have posited that it was undertaken only by disreputable merchants, whilst others have argued that profits would not have been made if systems of control had been absent, and that merchants were in fact rational when they invested in privateering. So far, however, no one has sought to gauge or measure the perceived riskiness of privateering by the merchants themselves, and the rationality of those who participated in it. Using the Seven Years’ War as a case study, this article seeks to measure the extent to

Abstract:

Abstract In neither of his two major forays into the laws of war and peace – De iure praedae or De iure belli ac pacis – did Hugo Grotius discuss the legal institutions of reprisal – whether special or general – or privateering in their own right. His profoundly novel reading of the just war doctrine in the context of his theory of natural rights, however, gave powerful legitimisation to the practices of special reprisals, as well as of privateering in times of war and of peace.

Abstract:

Privateering was a common enterprise in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the waters between the Azores, the Canary Islands and the Iberian Peninsula. Within this ‘oceanic triangle’, both Salé, on the Moroccan coast, and the Canary Islands, in the domains of the Spanish Crown, played an important role. Although privateers from Salé and the Canary Islands evolved in different ways, they were intricately linked through their proximity to one another. This article explores the relationships between the two and the impact of privateering on their respective ports.

Abstract:

Mercantile activities, privateering and fishing in the ports of Ostend, Bruges and Dunkirk during the 17th and 18th centuries were often in the hands of migrants. Irish entrepreneurs, no longer welcome in their occupied home country, searched for opportunities elsewhere in maritime trade and, during war-time, in privateering. In both enterprises they proved very successful and developed international mercantile networks. In the wake of this emerging business, sailors from both sides of the French-Austrian border settled in these ports or migrated between Ostend, Bruges and Dunkirk to wherever

Abstract:

A finals del segle XVI, la Mediterrània es va convertir en una frontera políticament oblidada. Els problemes de l'Imperi Turc, les dificultats financeres de la Monarquia Hispànica, la situació a Flandes i les aspiracions de Felip II a la corona portuguesa propiciaren la signatura de diverses treves entre els dos imperis (1577-1581). Aquest oblit polític i els problemes econòmics deixaren en un estat precari la defensa dels territoris mediterranis de la Monarquia Hispànica, provocant el retard en l'acabament de les obres de fortificació, la degradació de les guarnicions de soldats i la falta d'

Abstract:

Au cours des années comprises entre 1744 et 1763, le monde atlantique connaît deux guerres majeures. La France et ses colonies américaines sont impliquées dans une lutte acharnée contre l’Empire britannique. Les deux puissances rivales misent alors largement sur la guerre de course. Au-delà des conséquences commerciales et militaires évidentes, la guerre de course perturba aussi les communications transatlantiques. En effet, la prise d’un navire signifiait le plus souvent la perte des lettres qu’il transportait ou, dans le meilleur des cas, leur saisie, interrompant du même coup l’acheminement

Abstract:

The essay takes a non-Eurocentric point of view and aims to highlight the concurrent concepts of piracy and other forms of maritime violence in the early modern Mediterranean. The author shows that a wide range of concepts were used in the early modern Ottoman Empire to conceptualize what Europeans termed piracy or privateering. As in Europe, there was considerable ambiguity in the use and interpretation of these terms, and the practices that they described. In contrast to the emphasis that contemporary Europeans put on the distinction between piracy and privateering, in theory if not always i

This chapter offers a historical narrative of mercantile companies, privateers, and pirates from the 16th to the 19th century, with an emphasis on their relations with states. It defines the historical bounds of the analogy and identifies different constellations between the actors investigated in three historical periods: an account of late 16th-century Elizabethan privateering; the interaction between mercantile company, privateers, and pirates in the late 17th century; and the abolition of privateering in the mid-19th century. The late 16th century offers insights into the early modern worl

The introduction presents the core argument that international political contestations in cybersecurity can be better understood adopting a semi-state actor lens, which the book builds through a sustained application of the historical analogy to mercantile companies, privateers, and pirates. The chapter introduces the three main claims of the book: First, by analysing contestations in cyber(in-)security against the background of the history of piracy and privateering, one can better understand how state proximity is used politically by both attackers and defenders.

This chapter offers a perspective on the attitudes of those involved in the slave trade in the second half of the eighteenth century. Liverpool was the dominant British slaving port in this period with a core of merchants who were heavily engaged in the trade. Using a rare collection of business and personal papers belonging to a Liverpool merchant, Thomas Staniforth, questions are asked about the commercial and social networks of the slave traders, the interplay between slaving and other business concerns such as privateering and whaling, and the attitudes of an anti-abolitionist.
