L'originalité de ce livre est de proposer sur le temps long, de l'Antiquité à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, une étude de la place occupée par le monde de la mer dans le jeu politique des cités portuaires. À l'époque romaine, les capitaines, les armateurs, les négociants maritimes possédant une certaine richesse étaient-ils inscrits dans les sénats locaux ? Quel était leur rôle dans la vie civique ? Aux époques médiévale et moderne la problématique évolue : ville-État ou détenant une large autonomie, simple ville portuaire, les enjeux sont différents : contrôler l'État ou dominer l'économie locale en s'assurant le pouvoir municipal qui maîtrise l'administration des activités portuaires, s'assurer la prééminence politique. Pourtant la communauté professionnelle maritime se stratifie et éclate socialement et politiquement. Le temps des officiers qui pouvaient porter l'un des leurs au pouvoir laisse la place à une communauté de navigants de plus en plus exclue du jeu politique par une élite de brasseurs d'affaires maritimes qui s'accapare l'État dans les villes italiennes ou dans les villes de l'Europe septentrionale, sans éliminer toute contestation du monde des métiers ou d'un État central qui s'affirme, réduisant bientôt sa sphère d'intervention. Or, à l'époque du négoce triomphant, elle doit aussi tenir compte du rapport de force avec le monde de l'office et de la noblesse qui n'est pas insensible aux réussites que procurent les activités maritimes, l'attractivité n'étant pas à sens unique. L'ouvrage analyse tout autant les logiques qui expliquent la fermeture des conseils municipaux aux gens de mer que celles qui, au contraire, sont favorables à l'entrée des marchands dans la société politique locale. Il souligne la participation des notables et des aristocrates à la vie maritime et tente de rendre tangible le poids exercé par des puissances extérieures sur la gouvernance municipale. La question de l'intégration des gens de mer dans les instances politiques de leur…

Casting a broad net across several disciplines, particularly geography and political economy, Donald Freeman examines the significance of the Straits as both a trade gateway and a choke-point that has forced generations of sailors to "run the gauntlet." Rather than the more conventional historical-narrative approach, he offers an innovative adoption of an interdisciplinary, analytical perspective through his use of detailed case studies of trading systems and shipping hazards.

Positioned at the crossroads of the maritime routes linking the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, the Yemeni port of Aden grew to be one of the medieval world's greatest commercial hubs. Approaching Aden's history between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries through the prism of overseas trade and commercial culture, Roxani Eleni Margariti examines the ways in which physical space and urban institutions developed to serve and harness the commercial potential presented by the city's strategic location.Utilizing historical and archaeological methods, Margariti draws together a ric

For nearly five hundred years, men have been drawn by the vision of a commercially viable and strategically advantageous seaway that runs west and north from Europe to the Far East. Though costs currently outweigh benefits, the oil and natural gas finds in the Beaufort Sea and the Canadian Arctic islands, as well as the possibility of higher energy prices in the 1990s, have made a gradual increase in the volume and duration of navigation in and about the Passage seem likely. While many of the technological obstacles to regular surface shipping have been overcome, new obstacles, largely political, are rapidly becoming apparent. These problems are thoroughly discussed, as are the international legal aspects of Canadian Arctic waters policy, environmental and socio?economic implications of Arctic marine transportation, and the issue of subsurface activities. In his concluding essay the editor, Franklyn Griffiths, suggests that if Canadians are to become true keepers of the Passage they will need a better understanding of their Arctic marine spaces and a new appreciation of themselves as a northern people.
