Diplomacy and Intelligence in the Nineteenth-Century Mediterranean World examines the activities of diplomats in the expansion of their home country’s informal imperial ambitions. Taking a comparative approach, the book combines a focus on the extension of the informal British Empire with an exploration of the imperial ambitions of other states, such as France, Austro-Hungary and Japan.

The authors combine approaches from diplomatic history, intelligence history and microhistory in order to give new insights into the Mediterranean as a ‘contested space’ between competing informal empires. This study will be of great interest to anyone interested in the history of the Mediterranean region during the 19th century.

Mika Suonpää is Senior Lecturer in Contemporary History at the University of Turku, Finland. Owain Wright is Senior Lecturer in European History at Leeds Beckett University, UK.
