It addresses topics that have been neglected in recent literature, providing a series of political and institutional perspective; at the same time it recognises the importance of developments across the empire, not least in terms of how they affected imperial ‘policy’ and its implementation. It analyses a range of contemporary debates and ideas – political and intellectual as well as religious and administrative – relating to political economy, legal geography and sovereignty, as well as the messy realities of the imperial project, including the costs and losses of empire, collectively and individually.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1         Introduction – Jason Peacey\u003cbr\u003e2          The pivot of empire: party politics, Spanish America and the Treaty of Utrecht (1713) – Steve Pincus\u003cbr\u003e3          Party politics and empire in the early eighteenth century – J.
