      abstract = {This open access book explores the role of continuity in  political processes and practices during the Age of  Revolutions. It argues that the changes that took place in  the years around 1800 were enabled by different types of  continuities across Europe and in the Americas. With  historians of modernity tending to emphasise the rise of  the new, scholarship has leaned towards an assumption that  existing modes of action, thought and practice simply  became extinct, irrelevant or at least subordinate to new  modes. In contrast, this collection examines continuities  between early modern and modern political cultures and  organization in Europe and the Americas. Shifting the focus  from political modernization, the authors examine the  continued relevance of older, often local, practices in  (post)revolutionary politics. By doing so, they aim to  highlight the role of local political traditions and  practices in forging and enabling political change. The  book argues that while political change was in fact at the  centre of both the old and new polities that emerged in the  Age of Revolutions, it coexisted with, and was indeed  enabled by, continuities at other levels.
