The seminar Monarchies and Monarchisms in the Atlantic World, 1770 to the Present offers a forum for debate on the historical evolution of monarchies and, centrally, on monarchism as a transnational political ideology in the Atlantic world from the age of revolutions to the present. Through the presentation and discussion of two recently published volumes—Making of Modern Atlantic Monarchies (Bloomsbury) and Transatlantic Monarchism in the Americas and Europe (1812–1868) (Springer)—the seminar seeks to analyse the capacity of monarchies to adapt in contexts of imperial collapse, constitutional experimentation, and the formation of new political orders.
The seminar will bring together Professor Natalia Sobrevilla (Instituto Riva-Agüero), Professor Wim Klooster (Clarke University), Professor Adam Smith (Rothermere Institute, University of Oxford), and Professor Andrés Vicent (Université de Genève), whose contributions will offer comparative and long-term perspectives. The event aims to foster transnational and interdisciplinary dialogue on one of the most persistent and repeatedly reconfigured political traditions of Atlantic modernity.
