“…The third of Charles's kingdoms, Ireland, was the one most open to colonisation/exploitation by natives of his other two kingdoms. 211 This came under various guises: civilisation, religious Reformation and the need to keep a popish backdoor to England closed. 212 Elements of these economic, religious and political factors may have motivated Hamilton to seek a stake in Ireland, but the main factor was self-interest: a desire to have a stake in Ireland commensurate with that which he already enjoyed in Scotland and England.…”

Scotland and Ireland, 1632-1640Despite Hamilton's marriage into an English family in 1620, despite his hereditary English peerage as earl of Cambridge (normally associated with princes of the blood) 1 and despite his permanent residence in London between 1628 and 1642, he remained inextricably linked to Scotland. The popular myth that Hamilton disliked Scotland cannot be sustained before 1638 from the surviving evidence. While in Scotland in early 1628 and in 1634, Hamilton complained to the king that he would rather be at court, yet the comment was couched in terms of a servant's desire to be with his master. 2 Certainly in 1638 Hamilton declared his native country a 'miserabill place' and he was rumoured to have considered selling up and moving all his interests to England. 3 At the same time he asked the king that in the event of his death at the hands of the Covenanters his children should be married in England. 4 Ten years later, after his failed invasion of England, he asked the executors of his estate to do the exact opposite. 5 In both instances Hamilton was faced with a situation over which he no longer had control.

AbstractWhile extensive scholarship has shown that it is possible to maintain global economic openness after hegemony, economic liberalization is still thought to be unlikely prior to hegemonic ascent. This assumption is based on the conventional narrative that Great Britain began lowering its trade barriers in the 1820s as it began its hegemonic ascent. This article shows that Britain began pursuing an open trading structure in the 1780s—in precisely the multipolar world that hegemonic stability theorists claimed would be least likely to initiate the shift. This change in commercial strategy depended crucially on the intellectual conversion of a key policymaker—the Earl of Shelburne—from mercantilist foreign economic policy to Adam Smith's revolutionary laissez-faire liberalism. Using the case of “the world's most important trading state” in the nineteenth century, this article highlights the importance of intellectuals—as well as their ideas—in shaping states' foreign policy strategies. It also provides further evidence of key individuals' significance and their decisions at “critical junctures.”

“…The flight of the northern earls of Tyrone and Tyrconnell in 1607 expedited plans for Protestant settlement, and in 1608, a committee was appointed in London to formulate plantation policy, and see to the surveying and subdividing of the expropriated lands. 36 In monitoring the efforts of this commission, George Montgomery, Bishop of Derry, Raphoe and Clougher, himself a Scotsman, a zealous harrier of the Earl of Tyrone, and a brother of Hugh Montgomery, the famous colonizer of Antrim and Down, was scrupulous in ensuring that the Church of Ireland received its due in the parceling of land. 37 He seems to have garnered more than 25,000 acres of land for the church, above what the English commission had allocated.…”

IN THE BRITISH ISLES IN THE REIGN OF JAMES VI/Ihis I must say for Scotland, and I may truly vaunt it, here I sit and govern it with my pen, I write and it is done, and by a Clerk of the Council I govern Scotland now, which others could not do by the sword." 1 So spoke James I to the English parliament in the spring of 1607, as his hopes for a comprehensive union between England and Scotland began to become hopelessly derailed. For a king whose accession to the English throne had been greeted as the harbinger of "...peace under one king, one law, one religion,...and the true happiness of Britain..." 2 , such a boast seems almost sullen when we realize that it was probably an attempt to calm English fears of being over-run by poor, ignorant Scotsmen, should hostile laws between the two kingdoms be eliminated. 3 We know, of course, that James did not get his comprehensive union, and that England and Scotland were not formally joined as one state until 1707. 4 Still,
