Conversations on the European Fiscal-Military System: Southern Europe
To register your interest and submit any questions in advance, please email briony.truscott@history.ox.ac.uk by Tuesday 16 June
The European Fiscal-Military System project, funded by the ERC, transforms the conventional narrative of the violent rise of the European states system by revealing how belligerent competition also involved cooperation. States’ emergence was co-dependent and entailed developing ways to obtain war-making resources from beyond their jurisdictions. In the second of two sets of conversations, John Condren and Michael Martoccio explore how the city republics of Geneva and Genoa functioned as key hubs for the transfer of resources between theatres of war (such as northern Italy and the Netherlands). Such resources ranged from money to munitions, and this conversation also discusses the often shady individuals involved.
