description This article argues that the eighteenth and early nineteenth century revolutions, that took place in the Atlantic world, were the culmination of a process that began centuries earlier. It further maintains that Western Europe developed a shared political culture, based on ancient Greek and Roman thought, which emerged in the Middle Ages and which subsequent generations of thinkers refined. The Hispanic neo-scholastic theorists, who advanced the principle of potestas populi (sovereignty of the people), contributed enormously to the development of representative government based on the idea of popular sovereignty. The article then considers sixteenth and seventeenth century upheavals starting with the Rebelión de las Comunidades de Castilla, the Dutch independence movement, and the English civil wars and revolution of 1688. Finally, it examines those revolts, generally described as the Atlantic Revolutions, the American, the French, the Haitian, the Spanish American and the Portuguese American rebellions. It concludes that, with the exception of the Haitian upheaval, those movements were fundamentally political transformations.

Atlantic revolutions democracy 18th Century 19th Century Atlántico revoluciones democracia siglo XVIII siglo XIX This article argues that the eighteenth and early nineteenth century revolutions, that took place in the Atlantic world, were the culmination of a process that began centuries earlier. It further maintains that Western Europe developed a shared political culture, based on ancient Greek and Roman thought, which emerged in the Middle Ages and which subsequent generations of thinkers refined. The Hispanic neo-scholastic theorists, who advanced the principle of potestas populi (sovereignty of the people), contributed enormously to the development of representative government based on the idea of popular sovereignty. The article then considers sixteenth and seventeenth century upheavals starting with the Rebelión de las Comunidades de Castilla, the Dutch independence movement, and the English civil wars and revolution of 1688. Finally, it examines those revolts, generally described as the Atlantic Revolutions, the American, the French, the Haitian, the Spanish American and the Portuguese American rebellions. It concludes that, with the exception of the Haitian upheaval, those movements were fundamentally political transformations. Este trabajo sostiene que las revoluciones que ocurrieron en el mundo atlántico durante el siglo XVIII y principios del XIX fueron la culminación de un proceso que había comenzado siglos antes. Defiende además la idea de que Europa occidental desarrolló una cultura política común, basada en el pensamiento de las antiguas Grecia y Roma, cultura que emergió en la Edad Media y fue refinada por generaciones sucesivas de pensadores. Los teóricos neoescolásticos hispanos, que propusieron el principio de potestas populi (soberanía del pueblo), contribuyeron enormemente al desarrollo del gobierno representativo basado en la idea de soberanía popular. El autor también se ocupa de los levantamientos de los siglos XVI y XVII, desde la Rebelión de las Comunidades de Castilla, el movimiento independentista holandés, las guerras civiles inglesas y su revolución de 1688. Por último, analiza las revueltas conocidas como revoluciones atlánticas –la de las colonias inglesas en América, la francesa, la haitiana, las de las colonias españolas en América y la de la colonia portuguesa en América–, para concluir que, con excepción del levantamiento en Haití, todas fueron fundamentalmente transformaciones políticas.
