This open access book maps the early modern 'invention of the refugee' and in the process uncovers their impact on local, regional, and transnational politics.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith case studies ranging from Scandinavia to the Maghreb, \u003ci\u003eRefugee Politics in Early Modern Europe\u003c\/i\u003e traces how refugees transformed Europe. Topics explored include: the development of refugees as a political group in early modern societies; the role of displaced minorities in forging humanitarian networks; and the impact of refugees on migration management and imperialism. Most notably, this collection of essays moves beyond discussions of expulsion and flight to shine a spotlight on how states responded critically and constitutionally to refugees - as a means of galvanizing social groups, reinforcing identities, promoting activities, and expanding bureaucratic reach. The result is a sophisticated comparative study of migration, identity, power and politics which will be vital reading to all scholars of early modern Europe. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe open access edition of this book is available under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license on www.bloomsburycollections.com.
