DESCRIPTION:This paper catalogues how political ideas circulated across Eur
 ope and the British Empire\, through channels shaped by repression and con
 ditional belonging rather than openness. It focuses on Jacobitism after it
 s failed risings in the 18th century\, a defeated political movement whose
  adherents were persecuted in Britain and fled to Europe and the American 
 colonies. In response to exile\, Jacobites developed a distinctive strain 
 of liberal political thought centred on liberty\, religious toleration\, p
 roperty\, and the accountability of authority. Jacobite liberalism contrib
 uted to the political vocabulary that later informed revolutionary debates
  in the Atlantic world\, including those surrounding the American Revoluti
 on\n\nDrawing on case studies from every nation in the British Isles\, the
  paper traces how Jacobite ideas moved into colonial settings. It analyses
  figures such as James Edward Oglethorpe\, who governed at the edge of the
  empire in Georgia\, as well as figures such as Philip\, First Duke of Wha
 rton\, who acted as a Jacobite agent in half a dozen nations across Europe
 . In all these cases\, Jacobite‑inflected liberal principles were applie
 d in societies marked by religious and racial diversity. Their political t
 hought emerged from life under surveillance and constraint\, offering a mo
 del of interconnection grounded in adaptation rather than triumph.\n\nSitu
 ating these cases within a wider imperial frame highlights parallels with 
 other early modern empires\, including those in Asia\, where belief and po
 litical loyalty were similarly constrained. Seen from this perspective\, t
 he British Empire appears less as a vehicle of forced integration than as 
 a patchwork of regulated connections\, in which defeated or marginal actor
 s often played an outsized role in shaping political practice. Recovering 
 the global afterlives of this defeated tradition complicates linear accoun
 ts of liberalism’s rise and reveals how ideas forged under conditions of
  loss and exclusion could nonetheless travel widely and exert lasting infl
 uence.
