It is a global world. Nevertheless, Europe has left its mark – both positive and negative – on many aspects of its politics, its economy and its intellectual life. The series seeks to question some of the ways in which that legacy is commonly assessed by challenging the view of a single, independent, and coherent Europe acting on an equally homogenous outside world. What was ‘inside’ and what was ‘outside’ Europe was continually negotiated both in theory and in practice, and the “European heritage” was embedded in a continual stream of influences and contestations criss-crossing the continents. At the intersection of these multiple cross-currents this series explores what “Europe” may have meant for both insiders and outsiders at different moments of early modern and modern history.The series is focused on Europe’s legacy in the modern world. For this purpose, it seeks to situate European history in a global context as well as in the internal dynamics of ideas, policies and powers that have proposed rival accounts of what “Europe” means or could mean. It seeks to present “Europe” as both global and local, deeply invested in imperial ventures and simultaneously imagining an identity for itself. The time-frame of the series is vast, covering moments from the renaissance to the 19th century and recognising that historical periodisation can itself implicate a story of Europe that may be contested. The purpose, however, is to evaluate these moments in terms of what they have meant for today’s world.The series emphasizes the entanglements between the political, the legal, the religious and the economic and employs techniques and methodologies from intellectual history, the history of events, and structural history. The result is a collection of works that shed new light on the role that Europe’s history has played in the development of the modern world.
