By the early 1820s, British policy in the Eastern Mediterranean was
at a crossroads. Historically shaped by the rivalry with France,
the course of Britain's future role in the region was increasingly
affected by concern about the future of the Ottoman Empire and
fears over Russia's ambitions in the Balkans and the Middle East.
The Regency of Tripoli was at this time establishing a new era in
foreign and commercial relations with Europe and the United States.
Among the most important of these relationships was that with
Britain. Using the National Archive records of correspondence of
the British consuls and diplomats from 1795 to 1832, and within the
context of the wider Eastern Question, this book reconstructs the
the Anglo-Tripolitanian relationship and argues that the Regency
played a vital role in Britain's imperial strategy during and after
the Napoleonic Wars. Including the perspective of Tripolitanian
notables and British diplomats, it contends that the activities of
British consuls in Tripoli, and the networks they fostered around
themselves, reshaped the nature and extent of British imperial
activity in the region.
