Description

Explore the hidden relationship between insurance and modern warfare in Insuring War: Sovereignty, Security and Risk. Published by Routledge, this book examines how insurance has functioned as a major instrument of war since the eighteenth century. It investigates the connection between government actions and insurance providers through war risk schemes that have influenced both the waging of war and the maintenance of peace. The text introduces the concept of 'insurantial sovereignty' to explain how statehood and risk management have become linked. By looking at the British experience with maritime insurance, the author provides a deep look into how these financial practices shape global security and political stability. This is a vital resource for readers interested in business and economic history, political science, and the evolution of state power through financial mechanisms.
