About
Overview
Giuseppe is a global historian of political ideas and empires. His research focuses on international law, imperial rule, and intellectual connections spanning Southern Europe and the Mediterranean in the 19th century. His current book project - based on his PhD dissertation (QMUL 2022) - offers a global history of the interaction between empires, the Two Sicilies, and the central Mediterranean in the age of revolutions (1800-1860). By taking as its starting point the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, his research brings to light types of imperial rule beyond colonialism at the margins of Europe, and until now neglected Southern cosmopolitan visions of world order and theories of international law as an emancipatory project.
He is also interested in the history of international order and in how best to apply historically-grounded knowledge in policy-making and foreign affairs.
