Description

This scholarly volume, published by Routledge in honour of historian Geoffrey Parker, examines the complexities of European empires through a global lens during the transformative early modern period (1500-1800). The collection explores the centrifugal forces that challenged imperial formations, including sacral, dynastic, military, diplomatic, geographical, and informational constraints. During an era of profound technological, demographic, climatic, and economic upheaval, European empires navigated new religious movements, emerging nationalisms, expanded sea routes, and revolutionary military technologies. The essays illuminate how imperial structures functioned under mounting pressures and the structural limitations that defined European expansion and consolidation across continents. This work provides essential historical analysis for scholars, students, and readers interested in understanding the fragilities and contradictions inherent in early modern imperial projects and their lasting impact on world history.
