Job Description
As PhD Candidate in legal history, you will analyze the historical use of
sovereignty concepts in cities of commerce. The CaPANES project hypothesizes
that in the early modern period cities of commerce, even within states, had
foreign relations of their own and made strategic use of legal terms that
defined their economic sovereignty. The CaPANES project pursues
legal-historical analysis of both the domestic context of cities of commerce
and of their interactions with other cities and states. The CaPANES combines
qualitative and quantitative methods (social network analysis, modelling), and
aims to yield conclusions that are relevant also for discussions on present-day
economic sovereignty. The PhD Candidates will analyze the law, institutions and
correspondence of six cities of commerce (Florence, Toulouse, Rouen, Bruges,
Southampton and Lübeck). The first PhD position is concerned with Bruges and
Southampton (c. 1400-c. 1520), the second PhD position with Rouen and Lübeck
(c. 1450-c. 1620) and the third one with Florence and Toulouse (c. 1400-c.
1550). 20% of the appointment may be dedicated to teaching and/or
administration.
