The Uses of Justice in Global Perspective, 1600–1900 presents a new perspective on the uses of justice between 1600 and 1900 and confronts prevailing Eurocentric historiography in its examination of how people of this period made use of the law. Between 1600 and 1900 the towns in Western Europe, the Kingdoms in Eastern Europe, the Empires in Asia and the Colonial States in Asia and the Americas were all characterised by a plurality of legal orders resulting from interactions and negotiations between states, institutions, and people with different backgrounds. Through exploring how justice is used within these different areas of the world, this book offers a broad global perspective, but it also adopts a fresh approach through shifting attention away from states and onto how ordinary people lived with and made use of this ‘legal pluralism’. Containing a wealth of extensively contextualised case studies and contributing to debates on socio-legal history, processes of state formation from below, access to justice, and legal pluralism, The Uses of Justice in Global Perspective, 1600–1900 questions to what degree top-down imposed formal institutions were used and how, and to what degree, bottom-up crafted legal systems were crucial in allowing transactions to happen. It is ideal for students and scholars of early modern justice, crime and legal history.

In Oorlog, steden en staatsvorming wordt de organisatie van de defensie in Gorinchem en Doesburg, twee grenssteden van de Republiek, tijdens de Opstand bestudeerd. In grenssteden moest blijken of de vroegmoderne staat voldoende middelen bijeen kon brengen om gevechtskrachten te betalen en de organisatorische capaciteiten bezat om het gedrag van soldaten te beheersen en moderne vestingwerken aan te leggen. Vermeesch toont aan dat de Republiek beter dan andere staten erin slaagde om soldaten te integreren in de burgermaatschappij. Ook in het aanleggen en onderhouden van vestingwerken boekte de Republiek succes. In tegenstelling tot wat veelal verwacht wordt, bracht dit proces van staatsvorming-van-onderop een sterke nationale staat voort.
