Abstract
Era of Revolutions in the Atlantic World. В этом курсе рассматриваются революции, которые распространились по всему Атлантическому миру с конца 18-го по середину 19-го века, период, называемый в историографии Эпохой атлантических революций. С особым акцентом на Американской войне за независимость, Французской революции, Гаитянской революции, Испано-американских войнах за независимость, в нем дается обзор предпосылок, ключевых событий и связей между ними. Построение современного мира и разрыв со старыми устоями породили политические и конституционные эксперименты, национальные идеи, социальные и культурные изменения. Эти события, фундаментально связанные атлантической концепцией, будут рассмотрены в интеллектуальной и глобальной перспективе.This course examines the revolutions that spread across the Atlantic world from the late 18th to the mid-19th century, a period called in historiography the Age of Atlantic Revolutions. With a particular focus on the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, the Spanish American Wars of Independence, it provides an overview of premises, key events, and connections between them. Building modern world and breaking with old foundations gave birth to the political and constitutional experiments, national ideas, social and cultural changes. These events fundamentally linked by Atlantic concept will be considered in intellectual and global perspective.
