Raktažodžiai:
Glete (history, Stockholm U., Sweden) places the development of the Swedish navy between 1521 and 1721 within the context of the historiography of early modern European state formation, which has often left navies out of their examinations despite the complexity of navies and what states' ability to manage naval competencies and resources can reveal about the development of states as complex organizations. Thus, his history is primarily about the development of organizational capabilities for managing external resources such as manpower, social authority, food, timber, metals, sailcloth, hemp, etc. and transforming them into naval power. The chapters are organized around the resource flows that went into producing Swedish naval power, focusing particularly on the organizational capabilities for managing materials, although discussion of men and leaders is included by bringing together results form other studies and interpreting them in long-term perspective.

Recenzijos

Swedish Naval Administration, 1521-1721 is the great scholarly work that crowns Jan Gletes series of immensely important books and articles on early modern European navies. Sadly, he did not live to see this volume in final form, as it is in many ways his most important major work. This study provides a completely new and convincing reinterpretation of Swedish naval history in the context of Swedish and Scandinavian history, providing the Swedish perspective and the international complement to Martin Bellamys Christian IV and his Navy: A Political and Administrative History of the Danish Navy, 1596-1648 (2006). At the same time, Glete provides a new and stimulating model and case study in understanding the growth, development, sustainment, and operations of a national navy that is notably different from the model of the rival Atlantic powers and the development of global transoceanic empires. Thus, from a number of different perspectives, it is a work that every serious naval scholar should read and consider with care as a source of stimulating approaches. work that every serious naval scholar should read and consider with care as a source of stimulating approaches.
