This open access book explores the role of continuity in political
processes and practices during the Age of Revolutions. It argues
that the changes that took place in the years around 1800 were
enabled by different types of continuities across Europe and in the
Americas. With historians of modernity tending to emphasise the
rise of the new, scholarship has leaned towards an assumption that
existing modes of action, thought and practice simply became
extinct, irrelevant or at least subordinate to new modes. In
contrast, this collection examines continuities between early
modern and modern political cultures and organization in Europe and
the Americas. Shifting the focus from political modernization, the
authors examine the continued relevance of older, often local,
practices in (post)revolutionary politics. By doing so, they aim to
highlight the role of local political traditions and practices in
forging and enabling political change. The book argues that while
political change was in fact at the centre of both the old and new
polities that emerged in the Age of Revolutions, it coexisted with,
and was indeed enabled by, continuities at other levels.
