Mediterranean Reconfigurations: Intercultural Trade, Commercial Litigation, and Legal Pluralism
The book series
Mediterranean Reconfigurations is devoted to the analyses of
historical change in the Mediterranean over a long period (15th - 19th
centuries), challenging totalizing narratives that “Westernize”
Mediterranean history as having led naturally to European domination in
the 19th and 20th centuries. In reality, the encounters of Muslim,
Jewish, Armenian and Protestant merchants and sailors with legal customs
and judicial practices different from their own gave rise to legal and
cultural creativity throughout the Mediterranean. Through the prism of
commercial litigation, the series thus offers a more accurate and deeper
understanding of the practices of intercultural trade, in a context
profoundly shaped by legal pluralism and multiple and overlapping spaces
of jurisdiction. Comparative case studies offer empirically-based
indicators for both regional and more general processes, here called
"Mediterranean reconfigurations", e.g. the changing interplay and
positioning of individual and institutional actors on different levels
in a variety of commercial and legal contexts.
