Focusing primarily on relations between Spanish America and France, it establishes a connection between colonial resistance to the Spanish crown, interactions between European empires, and global trade. Previous scholars have assumed that Spain’s overseas empire accepted the transition from Habsburg to Bourbon rule without complaint, however my project reveals that the succession acted as a catalyst fomenting disloyalty throughout the viceroyalties of New Spain and Peru. Representing a wide social and ethnic spectrum, wartime disloyalty cases illustrate the complexity of challenging Spanish imperial rule a century before the independence movements. ! ""! My project also demonstrates that trans-imperial forces actually shaped the contours of the Spanish empire. It provides concrete evidence as to how interactions between Spanish colonial subjects, foreign merchants, and the French, English, and Dutch governments steered personal loyalties regarding Spanish sovereignty during such political crises. Furthermore, it offers a new political perspective on the transatlantic slave trade. During the war, the directors of France’s slave company formed alliances with Spanish colonial elites and facilitated the sale of political offices to officials who not only protected French trade in the Spanish colonies, but also actively prosecuted Habsburg sympathizers for treason. Thus, through a French- held slave monopoly, the Bourbon dynasty was able to negotiate local loyalty, undermine its enemies, and consolidate its control of Spanish America. The project incorporates a range of unpublished sources from Mexico, Spain, and France: pamphlets, legal transcripts from colonial audiencias and Spain’s Council of the Indies, correspondence between Spanish colonial elites and Louis XIV’s ministers at Versailles, and records of England’s Colonial Office. !

Acknowledgements It takes a village to write a dissertation. I would like to thank the many advisors, institutions, colleagues, and family members who provided the encouragement that made this project possible. My advisor Kathryn Norberg has been a tremendous mentor, whose guidance and knowledge as a historian proved vital. This dissertation would not have been possible without her. I am also indebted to my exceptional and truly “global” dissertation committee, Geoffrey Symcox, Claudia Parodi, and Kevin Terraciano. I also received invaluable assistance from other scholars in the field. William Summerhill and Robin Derby provided much appreciated support at UCLA. Tamar Herzog and Carla Rahn Phillips were particularly honest and generous with their advice regarding perspective and documentation. I have also benefited from the insight of historians from Spain, Latin America, and France, particularly Rafael Fernández Sotelo and Luis Navarro García. This dissertation was largely supported by a Fulbright IIE grant to Spain. The faculty of the Departamento de Historia de América at the Universidad de Sevilla kindly sponsored my project as I worked at the Archivo General de Indias. The Program for Cultural Cooperation Between Spain’s Ministry of Culture and U.S. Universities and the International Seminar on the History of the Atlantic World at Harvard University further facilitated my research abroad. I am thankful for the numerous research and writing grants I received from UCLA, in particular from the Department of History, the Center for European and Eurasian Studies, the Latin ! #""! American Institute, and the Burkle Center for International Relations. The support of the UC Diversity Initiative for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences, the Center for Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century Studies, and the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies allowed me to present at conferences in the United States and Europe, where my work evolved. I would also like to thank my many colleagues in the field. I am grateful to Kristina Poznan, Francisco Eissa-Barroso, Ainara Vázquez, Deborah Bauer, and Susan Cribbs for reading my work. I would like to thank Dorleta Apaolasa, Carla Aragón, Alex Boruki, Kaja Cook, Edward Collins, Consolación Fernández, Bethan Fisk, Guillermo García Montufar, Guillaume Hanotin, Nick Saenz, Daniel Wasserman-Soler, and David Wheat for our conversations at the archives, academic conferences, and over meals. At UCLA, I am indebted to Tiffany Gleason, Covadonga Lamar, Jimena Rodríguez, Lizy Moromisato, Erin Buker, and Jennifer Ng for their support. I could not have endured the ups and downs of graduate school without my dear friends Leslie Waters and Xochitl Flores. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for providing me with love and encouragement at home: my partner Luis, my parents Lucille and Antonio, siblings Andrea and Tony, my nieces, Wanda and Alex, Jessica and Jeff, Lillian, Bertha and Danielle, Auntie Dolores, and my grandparents Dolores and Lucio. ! #"""!

Though it took to the end of the seven- teenth century for the modem law of nations, based on the idea of state sover- eignty, to be formed, the roots of many of its concepts and institutions can be situated in this period2 . While all this might be true in retrospect, it would be by far overstretching the point to state that the victory of the emerging sovereign state over the medieval system was a foregone conclusion for the politicians and lawyers of * I am greatly indebted to professor James Crawford (Cambridge), professor Karl- Heinz Ziegler (Hamburg) and Mrs. Norah Engmann-Gallagher for their comments and suggestions, as well as to the board and staff of the Lauterpacht Research Centre for Inter- national Law at the University of Cambridge for their hospitality during the period I worked there on this article.

  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

  • Gibraltar's Constitutional Future
    RESEARCH PAPER 02/37 Gibraltar’s Constitutional 22 MAY 2002 Future “Our aims remain to agree proposals covering all outstanding issues, including those of co-operation and sovereignty. The guiding principle of those proposals is to build a secure, stable and prosperous future for Gibraltar and a modern sustainable status consistent with British and Spanish membership of the European Union and NATO. The proposals will rest on four important pillars: safeguarding Gibraltar's way of life; measures of practical co-operation underpinned by economic assistance to secure normalisation of relations with Spain and the EU; extended self-government; and sovereignty”. Peter Hain, HC Deb, 31 January 2002, c.137WH. In July 2001 the British and Spanish Governments embarked on a new round of negotiations under the auspices of the Brussels Process to resolve the sovereignty dispute over Gibraltar. They aim to reach agreement on all unresolved issues by the summer of 2002. The results will be put to a referendum in Gibraltar. The Government of Gibraltar has objected to the process and has rejected any arrangement involving shared sovereignty between Britain and Spain. Gibraltar is pressing for the right of self-determination with regard to its constitutional future. The Brussels Process covers a wide range of topics for discussion. This paper looks primarily at the sovereignty debate. It also considers how the Gibraltar issue has been dealt with at the United Nations.

  • Interaction and Perception in Anglo-German Armies: 1689-1815
    Interaction and Perception in Anglo-German Armies: 1689-1815 Mark Wishon Ph.D. Thesis, 2011 Department of History University College London Gower Street London 1 I, Mark Wishon confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT Throughout the ‘long eighteenth century’ Britain was heavily reliant upon soldiers from states within the Holy Roman Empire to augment British forces during times of war, especially in the repeated conflicts with Bourbon, Revolutionary, and Napoleonic France. The disparity in populations between these two rival powers, and the British public’s reluctance to maintain a large standing army, made this external source of manpower of crucial importance. Whereas the majority of these forces were acting in the capacity of allies, ‘auxiliary’ forces were hired as well, and from the mid-century onwards, a small but steadily increasing number of German men would serve within British regiments or distinct formations referred to as ‘Foreign Corps’. Employing or allying with these troops would result in these Anglo- German armies operating not only on the European continent but in the American Colonies, Caribbean and within the British Isles as well. Within these multinational coalitions, soldiers would encounter and interact with one another in a variety of professional and informal venues, and many participants recorded their opinions of these foreign ‘brother-soldiers’ in journals, private correspondence, or memoirs. These commentaries are an invaluable source for understanding how individual Briton’s viewed some of their most valued and consistent allies – discussions that are just as insightful as comparisons made with their French enemies.

It should also be noted that whilst Englishmen used the Old System at home, it was common (and Matthew Prior is no exception) for them to use the New System when on the Continent. iii Introduction It is often the way with historical memory that the man seen by his contemporaries as an important powerbroker is remembered by posterity as little more than a minor figure. As is the case with many men of the late-Seventeenth- and early-Eighteenth-Centuries, Matthew Prior’s (1664-1721) is hardly a household name any longer. Yet in the minds of his contemporaries and in the political life of his country even after his death his importance was, and is, very clear. Since then he has been the subject of three full-length biographies, published in 1914, 1921, and 1939, all now out of print.1 Although of low birth Prior managed to attract the attention of wealthy patrons in both literary and diplomatic circles and was, despite his humble station, blessed with an education that was to be the foundation of his later success.

  • The Splintering of Spain
    This page intentionally left blank ii ii The Splintering of Spain This book explores the ideas and culture surrounding the cataclysmic civil war that engulfed Spain from 1936 to 1939. It features specially commissioned articles from leading historians in Spain, Britain and the USA which examine the complex interaction of national and local factors, contributing to the shape and course of the war. They argue that the ‘splintering of Spain’ resulted from the myriad cultural clea- vages of society in the 1930s. Thus, this book views the civil war less as a single great conflict between two easily identifiable sets of ideas, social classes or ways of life, than historians have previously done. The Spanish tragedy, at the level of everyday life, was shaped by many tensions, both those that were formally political and those that were to do with people’s perceptions and understanding of the society around them.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • He Catalan Sovereignty Process and the Spanish Constitutional Court. an Analysis of Reciprocal Impacts *
    THE CATALAN SOVEREIGNTY PROCESS AND THE SPANISH CONSTITUTIONAL COURT. AN ANALYSIS OF RECIPROCAL IMPACTS * Eduard Roig i Molés** Abstract Since 2013 the Catalan sovereignty process and the Spanish Constitutional Court have increasingly been at odds with one another. This situation has altered the course of the Catalan sovereignty process, with the interventions of the Court notable for having a major bearing on sovereignty initiatives. The aim of this study is to analyse not just the constitutional jurisprudence, but also the transformation of the Catalan sovereignty process based on the decisions of the Constitutional Court, how these decisions have affected the course of action taken by Catalan institutions, and the effects and efficacy of the Court’s judgments, court orders and rulings in curbing the intentions of Catalan institutions. Conversely, the Catalan sovereignty process has had a major impact on the position of the Constitutional Court and its functions, relating to the Court’s jurisprudence and the political choices of regional and state institutions, and this impact is likewise analysed. Lastly, attention is given to the ‘collateral’ effects the Constitutional Court’s intervention in the Catalan sovereignty process has had on a number of other areas of Spain’s constitutional system. Keywords: Spanish Constitutional Court; constitutional law; sovereignty; Catalan sovereignty process Resum Des de l’any 2013, el procés sobiranista s’ha enfrontat progressivament amb el Tribunal Constitucional i ha provocat una mutació del procés
