The new epidemics of cholera and the development of bacteriology and hygiene, European colonial expansion, the intensification of commercial interchanges, the technological revolution in maritime and land transportation and the modernisation policies in Islamic countries were among the main factors behind such transformations. The book focuses on case studies on the European and Islamic shores of the Mediterranean showing the multidimensional nature of quarantine, the intimate links that sanitary administrations and institutions had with the territorial organisation of states, international trade, the construction of national, colonial, religious and professional identities of political regimes Analysis Identity Long 19th century Mediterranean Power Quarantine Space Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Subject Quarantine -- Mediterranean Region -- History Quarantine -- Political aspects -- Mediterranean Region -- History Quarantine -- Law and legislation -- Mediterranean Region -- History Quarantine -- history European history.
