This book is the first study that analyses bilateral commercial treaties as instruments of peace and trade comparatively and over time. The work focuses on commercial treaties as an index of the challenges of eighteenth-century European politics, shaping a new understanding of these challenges and of how they were confronted at the time in theory and diplomatic practice. From the middle of the seventeenth century to the time of the Napoleonic wars bilateral commercial treaties were concluded not only at the end of large-scale wars accompanying peace settlements, but also independently with the aim to prevent or contain war through controlling the balance of trade between states. Commercial treaties were also understood by major political writers across Europe as practical manifestations of the wider intellectual problem of devising a system of interstate trade in which the principles of reciprocity and equality were combined to produce sustainable peaceful economic development. .

This edited collection explores the histories of trade, a peculiar literary genre that emerged in the context of the historiographical and cultural changes promoted by the histoire philosophique movement. It marked a discontinuity with erudition and antiquarianism, and interacted critically with universal history. By comparing and linking the histories of individual peoples within a common historical process, this genre enriched the reflection on civilisation that emerged during the long eighteenth century. Those who looked to the past wanted to understand the political constitutions and manners most appropriate to commerce, and grasp the recurring mechanisms underlying economic development. In this sense, histories of trade constituted a declination of eighteenth-century political economy, and thus became an invaluable analytical and practical tool for a galaxy of academic scholars, journalists, lawyers, administrators, diplomats and government ministers whose ambition was to reform the political, social and economic structure of their nations. Moreover, thanks to these investigations, a lucid awareness of historical temporality and, more particularly, the irrepressible precariousness of economic hegemonies, developed. However, as a field of tension in which multiple and even divergent intellectual sensibilities met, this literary genre also found space for critical assessments that focused on the ambivalence and dangers of commercial civilisation. Examining the complex relationship between the production of wealth and civilisation, this book provides unique insights for scholars of political economy, intellectual history and economic history. Antonella Alimento is Professor of Early Modern History at the University of Pisa, Italy. She specialises in European political and economic history and is Co-Editor (with Koen Stapelbroek) of The Politics of Commercial Treaties in the Eighteenth Century (Palgrave, 2017). Aris Della Fontana is a doctoral student at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy, and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland.

Deuxième volume d’une ambitieuse enquête sur les cadastres en Europe du Moyen Âge à la période contemporaine, ce livre poursuit aux temps modernes les thématiques traitées précédemment. À travers les documents cadastraux se révèlent des sociétés, des stratégies politiques, des cultures qui se croisent, s’influencent ou divergent à travers tout le continent. Après les illustres arpentages romains et un essor cadastral au Moyen Âge sur les bords italiens de la Méditerranée, l’horizon s’élargit et couvre une Europe de l’Atlantique à l’Oural, remontant jusqu’à la mer Blanche. Au XVIe et au XVIIe siècles, Hongrie, Moscovie, Pologne et Suède font leur entrée dans le monde des cadastres. Les réalisations cartographiques prennent plus d’importance. Au XVIIIe siècle, les États s’échangent modèles et expériences. Un saut d’échelle s’est produit depuis les initiatives médiévales, prises principalement par les municipalités. Au sein de cette « République des administrateurs » où ne manquent guère que les Anglais, qui échappent à la notion même, se forge une modernité fiscale européenne, autour de l’usage renouvelé de pratiques anciennes, théorisé par les physiocrates, et débouchant, au-delà du fisc, sur des objectifs de développement et d’aménagement du territoire promis à l’avenir. Des documents suédois, espagnols, poméraniens et ottomans, rares dans la bibliographie française, ainsi qu’une chronologie générale complètent cet ouvrage auquel ont collaboré vingt-quatre des meilleurs spécialistes français et étrangers.
