Description

Review Swedish Naval Administration, 1521-1721 is the great scholarly work that crowns Jan Glete's series of immensely important books and articles on early modern European navies. Sadly, he did not live to see this volume in final form, as it is in many ways his most important major work. This study provides a completely new and convincing reinterpretation of Swedish naval history in the context of Swedish and Scandinavian history, providing the Swedish perspective and the international complement to Martin Bellamy's Christian IV and his Navy: A Political and Administrative History of the Danish Navy, 1596-1648 (2006). At the same time, Glete provides a new and stimulating model and case study in understanding the growth, development, sustainment, and operations of a national navy that is notably different from the model of the rival Atlantic powers and the development of global transoceanic empires. Thus, from a number of different perspectives, it is a work that every serious naval scholar should read and consider with care as a source of stimulating approaches. work that every serious naval scholar should read and consider with care as a source of stimulating approaches.John B. Hattendorf in The Northern Mariner/Le marin du nord, 21 (4), 2011, 421-422 Product Description This is a book about how a peasant society created a large navy which was used to conquer and defend a Baltic mpire. It emphasises organisational capabilities rather than maritime skills as essential for early modern navies. From the Back Cover This book is a long-term study of organisational capabilities as parts of early modern state formation. Sweden was a largely non-maritime society which nevertheless maintained a large navy as part of the armed forces which created a Baltic empire. Many of the resources came from the peasant society which was exploited in an entrepreneurial fashion by a highly ambitious dynasty. For a long time Sweden was organisationally more advanced than its neighbours but the empire ceased to grow and finally collapsed when other Northern powers developed strong states. The book provides detailed information about the strength of the navy in terms of warships, equipment, guns and men and it relates changes in size and structure to changes in policy. About the Author Jan Glete, Ph.D. (1975) in History, Stockholm University, was Professor of History at Stockholm University. He published extensively on economic history, international naval history and early modern European state formation.
