Political Decision-Making on Security in British Parliamentarism, 16th to 19th centuries (B05)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project examines the production and representation of decision-making in the English and British Parliaments between the 16th and 19th centuries. Parliamentary legislation is thereby examined micro-historically: it is considered as complex, nested, incremental and discontinuous events taking place within and beyond the debates in the Houses of Parliament. The project focuses on processes of decision-making on security. That includes both dealing with internal threats in the period of confessionalization as well as making decisions about warfare in Asia in the mid-19th century.
