European integration from the seaside
No full textGreat histories of the Mediterranean, the Baltic and other seas have been written and continue to inspire research. This volume is the first to encompass not only the southern and the northern traditions, but also that of the European Atlantic and North Sea coasts. It should not come as a surprise that it took time to combine historiographies, which until now have focused predominately on the connections of individual cities or within particular areas. The reconstruction of connections over long distances was already a challenging task, since travelling meant crossing borders presented by geographical, economic, political, religious, cultural and linguistic entities. Overcoming all these differences was all but self-evident – in the historical experience, just as in historiography. National historiographical traditions and the specific skills needed to access and interpret the sources have fragmented the research area and made an all-encompassing view of European maritime connections rare. The collective enterprise attempted in the present volume is aimed at reconnecting the various historiographical traditions in order to attain a better understanding of the commercial linkages integrating Europe from the sea as occurred more and more starting around 1300

Maritime trade around Europe 1300–1600
No full textThe integration of European markets was brought about by both overland transport as well as of sea-borne connections. Around 1300, bulk cargoes of consumer goods became increasingly common, not only on the Mediterranean but also along the Atlantic, North Sea and Baltic coasts. The maritime connections around the continent became all-encompassing, more integrated and more relevant in terms of volume and variety. This book aims to get a better understanding of the ways in which obstacles to this extension and intensification of maritime commercial networks could be overcome. It does so by identifying the conditions under which maritime ports could effectively connect major trade routes. Thus, the position of each of them within the market hierarchy has to be related to the characteristics of their location, their hinterland, the dimensions of their connections, their institutional arrangements related to their commercial activities and the ways in which they tried to overcome cultural differences and resolve conflicts. One of the key questions to be raised will thus be the level of autonomy that port cities of a particular type needed to enjoy vis-à-vis other powers in their environment or network. Here, the approach chosen for this volume concentrating on maritime networks will complement the more conventional analysis of the relations between cities and states
