Zoom Meeting
The struggle for sovereignty characterized the transition from the ancien régime to the modern world. Since the Atlantic Revolutions and up to the First World War, the rise of new empires and nation-states sharpened massive phenomena of insurgency and counterinsurgency. In an era of porous borders and fragile institutions, challenging or defending order engaged not only regular forces and armies, but also a diverse range of “men in arms”. Charismatic figures, organized in private companies or highly mobile irregular units, led actions of banditry, guerrilla warfare, and ethnic-religious revolt, interweaving individual ambitions with more general type claims. Bringing together case studies from Latin America to Central Europe to North Africa, the seminar explores practices and military strategies of irregular warfare in the modern world.
