The argument presented in this book arose from an extension to the question whether the suppression of the Jacobite Rising of 1745-46, as represented by a long-standing historiographical consensus, spelled the end of Jacobite hopes, and British fears, of another restoration attempt. The principal conclusion of this book is that the Jacobite Movement persisted as a viable threat to the British state, and was perceived as such by its opponents to 1759.

Monetary sovereignty is a crucial legal concept dictating that
states have sovereignty over their own monetary, financial, and
fiscal affairs. However, it does not feature as part of any key
instruments of international law, including the Articles of
Agreement of the International Monetary Fund. Rather, it has
remained a somewhat separate notion, developed under contemporary
international law from an assertion of the former Permanent Court
of International Justice in 1929. As a consequence of globalization
and increasing financial integration and a worldwide trend towards
the creation of economic and monetary unions, the principle of
monetary sovereignty has undergone significant change. This book
examines this evolution in detail, and provides a conceptual
framework to demonstrate what this means for the legal and economic
challenges faced by the international community. The book examines
the historic origins and evolution of the concept of monetary
sovereignty, putting it into the context of broader concepts of
sovereignty. It argues that monetary sovereignty remains relevant
as a dynamic legal concept with both positive and normative
components. It investigates the continuing hybridization of
international monetary law resulting from changes to its formal and
material sources. It then examines the complex phenomenon of
exchange rate misalignment under international monetary and trade
law, and the increasing regionalization of monetary sovereignty,
notably in light of the European sovereign debt crisis. Finally, it
assesses the role the concept of monetary sovereignty can play in
the reorganization of international finance following the recent
global financial crisis.
