Merchants, Pirates, and Smugglers

Criminalization, Economics, and the Transformation of the Maritime World (1200-1600). Edited by Thomas Heebøll-Holm, Philipp Höhn and Gregor Rohmann.

Considering the prevalence of legal and normative pluralism in medieval and early modern maritime societies, 15 essays address maritime violence and criminalization from a large variety of different European regions and develop theoretical concepts to examine their long-term development. The volume is structured by three thematic fields: 1. Between Criminalization and Compromise: Dealing with Maritime Violence in Medieval Legal Pluralism; 2. Islands, Ports, and Markets: Connectivity and Marginalization in the Maritime World; 3. Enforcing Markets, Economics of Violence, and the Formation of Power.
