| Abstract | As a political and economic hub between Northern and Central Europe the Baltic Sea region together with neighbouring regions is characterised by the Hanseatic League, which has occupied a dominant place within historical research. As a strong and well-organized network in questions of politics, economy, and trade, it has been regarded as the shaping force. However, the more powerful the Hanseatic League is portrayed, the more other, equally important alliances in the region fall behind. In three case studies we focus on network structures and interdependencies, which developed complementary, competitively, or independently to the League. |
