             Britain and Its Empire},

   Abstract = {Rethinking Mercantilism brings together a group of young
             early modern British and European historians to investigate
             what use the concept "mercantilism" might still hold for
             both scholars and teachers of the period. While scholars
             often find the term unsatisfactory, mercantilism has
             stubbornly survived both in our classrooms and in the
             general scholarly discourse. These essays propose that it is
             largely impossible to rethink "mercantilism," given its
             unique status as a non-entity, by looking for "mercantilism"
             itself. Economics as a discipline had not emerged by the
             seventeenth century, yet economic considerations were part
             of most intellectual pursuits, whether scientific,
             political, cultural, or social. Thus, the search for
             "mercantilism" is best undertaken through an investigation
             of how economic considerations were embedded in debates
             throughout the early modern intellectual landscape. With
             this in mind, this book seeks to rethink "mercantilism"
             inductively rather than deductively. Such an approach not
             only frees the debate from the strictures and assumptions of
             historiography reaching back to the Scottish Enlightenment,
             but also avoids viewing the period through the lens of
             modern economics. Exploring the period in its own terms
             makes it possible to revisit fruitfully and more
             holistically some of the traditional component parts of
             "mercantilism" such as the relationship between wealth and
             money, the modern state and commerce, economic and political
             thought, and power and prosperity only now informed and
             inflected by the questions raised in new approaches and
             trends to the intellectual, political, social, and cultural
             histories that populated the early modern world. The goal of
             this volume is not to abandon mercantilism as a concept but
             to rethink its intellectual and political content. First,
             rather than an ideology driven primarily by self-evident and
             narrow economic self-interest, "mercantilism" was
             inseparable from the rich transformations emerging out of
             the rapidly changing early modern intellectual landscape; as
             such, the study of mercantilism no longer appears solely as
             a subject of the history of economic thought, but part and
             parcel of early modern intellectual history more generally.
             Second, the book argues that the common vision of a
             "mercantile system" premised upon a coherent, strong, and
             expansive nation-state is unsustainable. The cornerstone of
             "mercantilism" has long been the assumption of a strong and
             coherent state apparatus with the authority to manage and
             manipulate the sphere of commerce for its own ends. This
             volume explores the implications on our understanding of
             early modern economic thought of the recent recognition
             among historians that the early modern state was rather
             weak, decentralized, and amorphous. Moreover, the fact that
             recent research has continually re-emphasized the role of a
             variety of political communities (not just the state, but
             also church, corporations, and communities of pirates and
             smugglers) in shaping public life recommends questioning
             which polities mercantilism sought to serve, and vice versa,
             at any given time. These and other questions will primarily
             be pursued in the English context, with occasional
             comparisons to the continental experience. Available in OSO:

   Author = {Stern, PJ},
   Title = {The Company-State: Corporate Sovereignty and the Early
             Modern Foundations of the British Empire in
             India},
   Year = {2012},
   ISBN = {9780199930364},
   Abstract = {Almost since the event itself in 1757, the English East
             India Company's victory over the forces of the nawab of
             Bengal and the territorial acquisitions that followed has
             been perceived as the moment when the British Empire in
             India was born. Examining the Company's political and
             intellectual history in the century prior to this supposed
             transformation, The Company-State rethinks this narrative
             and the nature of the early East India Company itself. In
             this book, Philip J. Stern reveals the history of a
             corporation concerned not simply with the bottom line but
             also with the science of colonial governance. Stern
             demonstrates how Company leadership wrestled with typical
             early modern problems of political authority, such as the
             mutual obligations of subjects and rulers; the relationships
             among law, economy, and sound civil and colonial society;
             the constitution of civic institutions ranging from tax
             collection and religious practice to diplomacy and
             warmaking; and the nature of jurisdiction and sovereignty
             over people, territory, and the sea. Their ideas emerged
             from abstract ideological, historical, and philosophical
             principles and from the real-world entanglements of East
             India Company employees and governors with a host of allies,
             rivals, and polyglot populations in their overseas
             plantations. As the Company shaped this colonial polity, it
             also confronted shifting definitions of state and
             sovereignty across Eurasia that ultimately laid the
             groundwork for the Company's incorporation into the British
             empire and state through the eighteenth century. Challenging
             traditional distinctions between the commercial and imperial
             eras in British India, as well as a colonial Atlantic world
             and a "trading world" of Asia, The Company-State offers a
             unique perspective on the fragmented nature of state,
             sovereignty, and empire in the early modern world. Available

   url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195393736.001.0001},
   Abstract = {This book rethinks the nature of the early English East
             India Company as a form of polity and corporate sovereign
             well before its supposed transformation into a state and
             empire in the mid-eighteenth century. It explores the
             Company's political and legal constitution as an overseas
             corporation and the political institutions and behaviors
             that followed from it, from tax collection and public health
             to war-making and colonial plantation. This book also traces
             the ideological foundations of those institutions and
             behaviors, revealing how Company leadership wrestled with
             typically early modern problems of governance, authority,
             jurisdiction, and sovereignty. the book thus reframes some
             of the most fundamental narratives in the history of the
             British Empire, questioning traditional distinctions between
             public and private bodies, "commercial" and "imperial" eras
             in British India, a colonial Atlantic and a "trading world"
             of Asia, European and Asian political cultures, and the
             English and their European rivals in the East Indies. At its
             core, the book offers a view of early modern Europe and
             Asia, and especially the colonial world that connected them,
             as resting in composite, diffuse, hybrid, and overlapping
             notions of sovereignty that only later gave way to more
             modern singular, centralized, and territorially- and
             nationally-bounded definitions of political community. Given
             growing questions about the fate of the nation-state and of
             national borders in an age of globalization, this study
             offers a perspective on the vitality of non-state and
             corporate political power perhaps as relevant today as it
             was in the seventeenth century.},

   Abstract = {This article explores the various roles that alcohol played
             in defining the governance of East India Company
             fortifications and settlements in the seventeenth and early
             eighteenth centuries. It argues that, much like elsewhere in
             Europe, Asia, and the colonial world, alcohol was absolutely
             crucial to political and social life, as well as a source of
             great revenue and profit for both the Company and
             individuals who worked for it. At the same time, it was a
             cause of immense anxiety and concern for Company government,
             which understood the use (and overuse) of alcohol as a
             principal sign of potential disorder and disobedience. Far
             from a contradiction, this ambivalence towards alcohol
             formed a foundation for a variety of regulatory instruments,
             from tavern licences to taxation, that were crucial to the
             establishment of early Company governance and a prime
             reflection of the Company's very own ambivalent nature as
             both merchant and sovereign.},

             contradictions and contingencies. Bombay was never easy to
             define geographically and its identity as an 'English'
             settlement was precarious. It could not insulate itself
             militarily from the powerful polities nearby; nor could it
             always rely on the loyalty of its subjects, whether English
             or of other ethnicities. It was a city constructed out of
             crisis and tragedy, trial and error, a history that the
             story about a European dynastic 'dowry' obscures, and which
             Company representatives worked hard to conceal.},

   Abstract = {In the thirty years since the publication of C.A. Bayly’s
             Imperial Meridian, the late eighteenth- and early
             nineteenth-century British Empire has moved definitively
             from the “sidelines” to the center of British imperial
             historiography. This article asks how Bayly’s method and
             argument might be transplanted to help us understand
             different periods of colonial development, inspired both by
             his call to situate the growth of the British Empire in the
             context of global political and economic crisis and a recent
             efflorescence in scholarship on the earlier period of East
             India Company expansion in Asia. Refocusing analysis on the
             Company rather than the state, and thinking about the more
             short-term responses to radical dislocations of commercial
             and political power in India, this article proposes that the
             early eighteenth century can be understood both as a
             foundation for later transformations as well as a critical
             moment of empire building in itself. More broadly it
             suggests an approach to the history of empire that is as
             evolutionary as it is revolutionary, one which is perhaps
             defined by multiple meridians in time and
             space.},

   Abstract = {This article examines the role of fortifications, garrisons,
             and militia service in the English East India Company's
             early settlements in Asia and the Atlantic. Affecting
             everything from the physical space of such a settlement to
             the status and rights of its inhabitants, the institutions
             and ideologies of a variety of forms of military service
             revealed the degree to which Company leadership had early on
             come to understand their settlements in Asia not as mere
             trading factories, but as colonial plantations, and their
             role as a government in Asia. Even if their lofty ambitions
             rarely met expectations, the Company sought within them to
             cultivate law, jurisdiction, and a robust civic life that
             could in turn ensure an active, obedient, and virtuous body
             of subjects and, in a sense, citizens. The attitudes toward
             and policies concerning soldiering also revealed the degree
             to which the Company's seventeenth-century regime, so often
             treated as unique amongst English overseas ventures and
             Europeans in Asia, in fact drew and innovated upon models of
             governance across Europe, the Atlantic, and Asia. © 2011

   Abstract = {From the beginnings of organised English contact with Asia
             at the dawn of the venteenth century until the rapid
             expansion of British territorial power in India in the later
             eighteenth century, the responsibility for governing British
             interests, people, commerce, places, and resources in the
             east was almost exclusively the work neither of the state
             nor its agencies, but of a corporation: the Governor and
             Company of Merchants of London Trading to the East Indies.
             As a result, early Company ‘governance’, unlike its
             European, Atlantic, and Asian contemporaries, has tended to
             be approached most frequently as a problem of business not
             political history, concerned largely with the Company’s
             techniques of regulating its employees and articulated as
             the universal quandary of multinationals to regulate an
             ‘employment relationship’ between ‘principals’
             (Company leadership in London) and ‘agents’ (its
             employees, or ‘servants’, in Asia) rather than the
             institutions and ideologies that condition political
             authority, obedience, coercion, and negotiation. According
             to this logic, only after the battle of Plassey (1757) and
             the assumption of the office of diwan, revenue collector and
             administrator, in Bengal (1765) did the Company’s ‘main
             executive and administrative duties’ shift to ‘political
             matters’: that is, from administering over its own
             servants to governing over South Asians.},
