International Politics and Warfare in the Age of Louis XIV and Peter the Great
The Peace of Westphalia (1648), ending the Thirty Years' War, resulted in the rise of the modern European states system. However, dynasticism, power politics, commerce, and religion continued to be the main issues driving International politics and warfare. Dr. William Young examines war and diplomacy during the Age of Louis XIV and Peter the Great. His study focuses on the later part of the Franco-Spanish War, the Wars of Louis XIV, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars in the West. In addition, the author explores the wars of the Baltic Region and East Europe, including the Thirteen Years' War, Second Northern War, War of the Holy League, and the Great Northern War. The study includes a guide to the historical literature concerning war and diplomacy during this period. It includes bibliographical essays and a valuable annotated bibliography of over six hundred books, monographs, dissertations, theses, journal articles, and essays published in the English language. International Politics and Warfare in the Age of Louis XIV and Peter the Great is a valuable resource for individuals interested in the history of diplomacy, warfare, and Early Modern Europe.

Polymath of the Baroque
"Throughout his diplomatic and ecclesiastical career, Steffani continued to compose sacred music, opera, and chamber music - works that inspired Handel and other Baroque composers. Polymath of the Baroque discusses the entire musical output of Agostino Steffani, including a comprehensive treatment of his chamber duets, considered models of their kind. It also traces his principal diplomatic and political activities at Hanover and Dusseldorf, his rise to the bishopric of Spiga, and his career as Apostolic Vicar of North Germany."--BOOK JACKET.
Women, Diplomacy and International Politics since 1500
Women, Diplomacy and International Politics since 1500 explores the role of women as agents of diplomacy in the trans-Atlantic world since the early modern age. Despite increasing evidence of their involvement in political life across the centuries, the core historical narrative of international politics remains notably depleted of women. This collection challenges this perspective. Chapters cover a wide range of geographical contexts, including Europe, Russia, Britain and the United States, and trace the diversity of women’s activities and the significance of their contributions. Together these essays open up the field to include a broader interpretation of diplomatic work, such as the un...
