Commercial competition between Britain and Russia became entangled
during the eighteenth century in Iran, the Middle East, and China,
and disputes emerged over control of the North Pacific. Focusing on
the British Russia Company, Matthew P. Romaniello charts the ways
in which the company navigated these commercial and diplomatic
frontiers. He reveals how geopolitical developments affected trade
far more than commercial regulations, while also challenging
depictions of this period as a straightforward era of Russian
economic decline. By looking at merchants' and diplomats'
correspondence and the actions and experiences of men working in
Eurasia for Russia and Britain, he demonstrates the importance of
restoring human experiences in global processes and provides
individual perspective on this game of empire. This approach
reveals that economic fears, more than commodities exchanged,
motivated actions across the geopolitical landscape of Europe
during the Seven Years' War and the American and French
Revolutions.
