Architecture and Extraction in the Atlantic World 1500-1850

Architecture and Extraction in the Atlantic World 1500-1850

This edited collection examines the development of Atlantic World architecture after 1492. In particular the chapters explore the landscapes of extraction as material networks that brought people space and labor together in harvesting raw materials cultivating agriculture for export-level profits and circulating raw materials and commodities in Europe Africa and the Americas from 1500 to 1850. This book argues that histories of extraction remain incomplete without careful attention to the social physical and mental nexus that is architecture just as architecture’s development in the last 500 years cannot be adequately comprehended without attention to empire extraction colonialism and the rise of what Immanuel Wallerstein has called the world system. This world system was possible because of built environments that enabled resource extraction transport of raw materials circulation of commodities and enactment of power relations in the struggle between capital and labor. Separated into three sections: Harvesting the Environment Cultivating Profit and Circulating Commodities: Networks and Infrastructures this volume covers a wide range of geographies from England to South America from Africa to South Carolina. The book aims to decenter Eurocentric approaches to architectural history to expose the global circulation of ideas things commodities and people that constituted the architecture of extraction in the Atlantic World. In focusing on extraction we aim to recover histories of labor exploitation and racialized oppression of interest to the global community. The book will be of interest to researchers and students of architectural history geography urban and labor history literary studies historic preservation and colonial studies. | Architecture and Extraction in the Atlantic World 1500-1850

Defending NATO’s Northern Flank Power Projection and Military Operations

Defending NATO’s Northern Flank Power Projection and Military Operations

This book investigates several aspects of military power and security in the North Atlantic and Arctic regions. NATO’s northern flank is a large maritime and littoral theatre where NATO directly borders Russia’s Northern Fleet Military Administrative Territory which is the location of some of Russia’s most potent air sea and land power capabilities. While military tensions on the northern flank had been relatively low for years the Ukraine war and increased great-power rivalry have altered that dynamic with heightened geopolitical tensions. This has increased the focus on military-strategic competition in this northernmost region of the alliance. This book presents new assessments of several aspects of military power and security in the North Atlantic and Arctic regions. With an analysis of the security and political climate in the High North and of developments in Western military strategies capabilities doctrines and operational concepts the volume seeks to bring together an holistic understanding of the strategic challenges and opportunities facing the North Atlantic states and NATO in this dynamic area of responsibility for the alliance. In doing this the book provides key insights into the role of branch-specific and joint approaches to power projection and operations in the High North which also include selected country case studies. This book will be of much interest to students of NATO military studies security studies and International Relations. | Defending NATO’s Northern Flank Power Projection and Military Operations
