Provides for a historical perspective of Scotland's interaction
with the world beyond its borders. As one of the most prolific
historians of his generation, Allan I. Macinnes, Emeritus Professor
of History at the University of Strathclyde, has been foremost in
promoting an international rather than insular approach to the
study of Scotland. In a distinguished career he has written
extensively on the Scottish Highlands, the British revolutions, the
formation of the United Kingdom, the Jacobite movement, and
Scottish involvement in the British Empire. The chapters collected
here reflect the extent of these interests and a commitment to
understanding Scotland - or indeed, other territorial units - in an
international or global context. Covering a period from the
sixteenth to the nineteenth century, essays examine the complex
interaction of the peoples of the British and Irish isles; they
consider Scottish participation in Britannic and European conflict;
and they explore Scottish involvement in business networks,
political unions, and maritime empires. From intellectual and
cultural exchange to political and military upheaval, Scotland and
the Wider World will be key reading for anyone interested in the
antecedents to Scotland's current international standing.
