Zusammenfassung:What do we learn when historical research moves along, across and beyond the boundaries of early modern territorial entities?00Using the concept and method of transregional history, the contributions to this volume seek to answer this question. By focussing on the border regions of the Spanish Habsburg Low Countries, and by exploring interactions in and beyond these borderlands, the chapters shed light on how humans in the past created, handled and surpassed the territorial boundaries they encountered. This approach reveals how early modern borders functioned not only as areas of communication and movement, but also as barriers that hindered or impeded cross-border exchanges.00Looking at the Eastern, Western, Southern and Northern border regions of the Habsburg Netherlands, as well as to the connections between the Netherlands, Spain and their neighbours, the volume connects the boundaries of the Low Countries to a variety of important issues of the time. These contemporary questions included matters of conflict and negotiation, commerce and confession, and loyalty and identity. As such, the variety offered by the transregional methodology applied in this volume, results in a much better understanding of the uniting and dividing aspects of early modern territoriality.
