Advance Praise:
"For anyone keen to learn about the rise and development of Europe's overseas empires, this is the place to begin. Paquette has mastered a vast body of information to produce a splendid survey."—J. H. Elliott, author of Empires of the Atlantic World
“This book builds on an incredible grasp of comparative historiography and brings previously disparate literatures into conversation with one another. It is a sparkling piece of scholarship.”—Matthew Brown, University of Bristol
"Paquette masterly explores the interconnected history of five European seaborne empires. His book is an in-depth and comprehensive piece of transnational history, and a fundamental contribution to the comparative history of empires."—Pedro Cardim, Universidade Nova de Lisboa
"Beautifully written and thoughtfully argued by a leading historian, this text rethinks the history of the seaborne empires in fruitful and innovative ways. Paquette skillfully brings non-European actors to the fore and demonstrates the limitations of European ambition even as he illuminates its growing power."—Philippa Levine, University of Texas at Austin
"In a blend of lucid narrative and nuanced analysis, Paquette provides a superb synthesis of early modern imperialism. Sweeping across a vast geographical and cultural range, he demonstrates the vital contribution of Europe’s seaborne empires to global capitalism, and its consequences for peoples and environments across the world. A brilliant new starting point, highly recommended."—Anthony McFarlane, Emeritus Professor of History, University of Warwick
"Paquette's masterful command of the scholarship provides the basis for a superb synthetic volume that fills a void in the literature. While focusing on bottom-up and trans-imperial forces that shaped empires, the book's fluid narrative gives due attention to multiple actors and centers of power. This is a remarkable accomplishment."—Roquinaldo Ferreira, University of Pennsylvania
"Leading us on an historical expedition that spans four centuries, five ‘empires’, six critical themes, and, of course, the entire globe, this nuanced and deeply-researched account of early modern European maritime expansion accomplishes a remarkable feat: to immerse its reader in an eminently accessible story of the making of overseas empire all the while revealing its great complexity and disrupting any number of its usual assumptions and expectations—not least of which is just how European, seaborne, or imperial one ought regard The European Seaborne Empires in the first place."—Philip J. Stern, Duke University

This article examines the origins of the ‘Parry Report’ (1965), the implementation of which led to the massive expansion of Latin American Studies in the United Kingdom. Drawing on material from several archives, the article argues that the Report was the product of a peculiar geopolitical conjuncture – decolonization, the 1959 Cuban Revolution, Britain's rejection from the European Economic Community – that prompted the Foreign Office to convene a group of academics (and selected others) from institutions then in the process of formalizing links with US-based private foundations. It seeks to show how extramural and intramural factors, geopolitics and academic politics, combined to generate an interdisciplinary area study that survived long after the conditions that had given rise to its genesis had disappeared.

The Atlantic Crossings book series publishes new scholarship exploring the history of the Atlantic world from the end of the seventeenth century until the beginning of the twentieth century. The themes and subjects addressed in Atlantic history are broad, ranging from migration, transnational intellectual exchanges, slavery and the slave trade to commercial relations, diplomacy, and military affairs. The series editors seek to publish innovative works encompassing the North and South Atlantic and especially welcome proposals related to the Portuguese-, Spanish-, French-, and Dutch-speaking worlds.
