Globalized Peripheries examines the commodity flows and financial
ties within Central and Eastern Europe in order to situate these
regions as important contributors to Atlantic trade networks. The
early modern Atlantic world, with its flows of bullion, of free and
unfree labourers, of colonial produce and of manufactures from
Europe and Asia, with mercantile networks and rent-seeking capital,
has to date been described almost entirely as the preserve of the
Western sea powers. More recent scholarship has rediscovered the
dense entanglements with Central and Eastern Europe. Globalized
Peripheries goes further by looking beyond slavery and American
plantations. Contributions look at the trading practices and
networks of merchants established in Central and Eastern Europe,
investigate commodity flows between these regions and the Atlantic
world, and explore the production of export commodities, two-way
migration as well as financial ties. The volume uncovers new
economic and financial connections between Prussia, the Habsburg
Empire, Russia, as well as northern and western Germany with the
Atlantic world. Its period coverage connects the end of the early
modern world with the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
