Anna Knutsson is a researcher at Uppsala University. Her current project explores the dynamics of smuggling in Nordic peripheries, particularly during the period from 1770 to 1820, focusing on globalization and the challenges associated with illicit trade. This project investigates how regions, often overlooked in globalization studies, served as critical points for the exchange and distribution of illegal global goods throughout Europe. By employing a global history methodology, she analyzes the local contexts of smuggling within these border areas, drawing from a plethora of foreign and domestic archives in multiple languages. Her work aims to reconcile established notions of globalization in Europe with the realities of the Nordic entry into modern global trade.
