Full Description
This book explores the political ideas, cultural practices and geostrategic actions that gave rise to transatlantic monarchism in Europe and the Americas. During the age of revolutions (1776-1830), a wave of republicanism swept the Atlantic world. Its most apparent achievement was the creation of several republican states in the Americas and the emergence of republican movements in Europe. However, the revolutionary modernity that most republican projects proposed soon confronted the opposition of a revived monarchist creed, whose cultivators elaborated a geopolitical horizon of their own for the Euro-American world. Many intellectuals and policy-makers of the period designed projects to consolidate existing monarchies in Western Europe, the Caribbean and the American continent and restore thrones in the countries of Latin America. To this end, they imagined an alternative modernity in which Europe and the Americas would be linked by the political culture of monarchism, whether in its constitutional or illiberal version.
