Synopsis of El corso: Sociedad, guerra y estado en la Edad Moderna

This book analyzes the fundamental role of privateering in Early Modern Europe, exploring how civil society, through private networks of individuals and communities, played a crucial role in organizing and deploying naval military action. Through a cross-sectional perspective, the work brings together recent research that challenges the traditional view of the State as the sole monopolist of violence, offering a deep look at the interaction between public and private agents in the context of the era's international competition.
