Edge of Empire analyzes the emergence of Montevideo as a hot spot of Atlantic trade and regional center of power, often opposing Buenos Aires. By focusing on commercial and social networks in the Rio de la Plata region, the book examines how Montevideo merchant elites used transimperial connections to expand their influence and how their trade offered crucial support to Montevideo's autonomist projects. These transimperial networks offered different political, social, and economic options to local societies and shaped the politics that emerged in the region, including the formation of Uruguay. Connecting South America to the broader Atlantic World, this book provides an excellent case study for examining the significance of cross-border interactions in shaping independence processes and political identities. 606 $aHISTORY / Latin America / South America$2bisacsh 607 $aRio de la Plata Region (Argentina and Uruguay)$xEconomic conditions$y18th century 607 $aRi?o de la Plata Region (Argentina and Uruguay)$xHistory$y18th century 610 $a18th century. 610 $a19th century south america. 610 $aargentina. 610 $aargentinian commerce. 610 $aatlantic trade. 610 $abanda oriental. 610 $acisplatine province. 610 $acolonia do sacramento. 610 $acommerce in the south atlantic. 610 $adon manuel cipriano de melo. 610 $aeconomic history of argentina. 610 $aluso brazilians. 610 $amontevideo. 610 $aportuguese imperialism. 610 $ario de la plata. 610 $asouth america. 610 $asouth american history. 610 $aspanish conquest in south america. 610 $atransatlantic trade. 610 $atransimperial trade. 610 $auruguay. 610 $awar in the south atlantic. 615 7$aHISTORY / Latin America / South America. 676 $a382.09895 700 $aPrado$b Fabri?cio Pereira$01572251 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797686403321 996 $aEdge of empire$93847051 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04024nam 2200685 450 001 9910825473403321 005 20230808192247.0 010 $a0-8203-4906-2 035 $a(CKB)3710000000618679 035 $a(EBL)4454768 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001640585 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16399914 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001640585 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14804646 035 $a(PQKB)10912704 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4454768 035 $a(OCoLC)945566976 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse52967 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4454768 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11206768 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL906941 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000618679 100 $a20150828h20162016 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|||||||nn|n 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aNew explorations into international relations $edemocracy, foreign investment, terrorism, and conflict /$fSeung-Whan Choi 210 1$aAthens, Georgia :$cThe University of Georgia Press,$d[2016] 210 4$d©2016 215 $a1 online resource (345 p.) 225 1 $aStudies in security and international affairs 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8203-4907-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover; Contents; List of Tables and Figures; Preface; Introduction; Part I: Double Take; Chapter 1.

Unlike empirical studies in other disciplines, says Seung-Whan Choi, many political studies seem more competent at presenting theoretical conjecture and hypotheses than they are at performing rigorous empirical analyses. When we study global issues like democratic institutions, flows of foreign direct investment, international terrorism, civil wars, and international conflict, we often uncritically adopt established theoretical framework 410 0$aStudies in security and international affairs. 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aInvestments, Foreign 606 $aTerrorism 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign. 615 0$aTerrorism. 676 $a327 700 $aChoi$b Seung-Whan$01626828 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825473403321 996 $aNew explorations into international relations$93963092 997 $aUNINA
