Global Ocean of Knowledge, 1660-1860
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-14213-8 (ISBN)
Exploring the dynamics of globalisation, knowledge-making and European expansion, Global Ocean of Knowledge takes a transnational approach and transgresses the traditional border between the early modern and modern periods. It focuses on three main periodisations, which correspond with major transformations in the globalisation of the Atlantic World, and analyses how and to what extent globalisation forces from above and from below influenced the development and exchange of knowledge. Davids distinguishes three forms of globalising forces ‘from above’; imperial, commercial and religious, alongside self-organisation, the globalising force ‘from below’. Exploring how globalisation advanced and its relationship with knowledge changed over time, this book bridges global, maritime, intellectual and economic history to reflect on the role of the oceans in making the world a more connected place.
Karel Davids is Professor of Economic and Cultural History at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He has previously held positions at Erasmus University Rotterdam, and the University of Leiden, Netherlands. He has published widely on economic and social history, maritime history, global history and the history of technology.
