War and Peace in the Religious Conflicts of the Long Sixteenth Century
This collection of essays seeks to analyse historically these influences, connections, and impact from multiple points of view, such as – but not limited to – the links between war and rebellion, the issues of trust and religious violence, early modern university debates on war and peace, the problems engendered by intolerance and the difficult management of tolerance, the delicate matters of politico-religious accommodation and the implementation of peace in towns and contested territories, the reappraisals and changes in the narratives of military prowess and religious fidelity, the role of women in the religious conflicts in the 'long sixteenth century', the porous boundaries (imagined or real) which existed between 'enemies' in times of war and the issues connected to the cohabitation with the 'Other' in times of peace.
Justice and Peace
Justice and peace are key concepts in the discourse of many academic disciplines. Conceptually, they are obviously linked, but perennial disputes surround the question of their interdependence and whether priority must be accorded to justice or peace. This volume brings together a diverse group of internationally renowned scholars from the fields of political theory, philosophy, international relations, history, cultural anthropology, and law to address these overarching questions and offer suggestions on how the friction between justice and peace might be resolved. The contributors draw on long-standing philosophical debates in order to address historical as well as contemporary conflicts ranging from the establishment and enforcement of legal and political norms in the disputes of early modern Europe to present-day tensions inherent in the constitutionalization of international law.
Louis XIV and the Peace of Europe
In recent generations, the study of dynastic politics and diplomatic history has undergone a revival. This field provides invaluable context for understanding international relations and focuses on aspects of cultural exchange and intellectual currents far more than previously. The “age of Louis XIV” has not been immune from this resurrection of interest in foreign policy and the conduct of diplomacy. This book is the first serious full-length study of Louis XIV’s diplomatic relations with the small states of northern Italy, specifically the duchies of Parma, Modena, and Mantua-Monferrato. Louis’s desire to be seen as a peacemaker (despite his obvious bellicosity) extended to Italy, ...
The Palgrave Handbook of International Political Theory
This handbook provides an exploration of the field of International Political Theory (IPT), which in its broadest terms, examines the ways in which ideas about justice, sovereignty, and legitimacy shape international politics. It is a comprehensive resource for those interested in understanding the philosophical, political, and legal issues that arise from interactions between states, peoples, and global actors. The two volumes of the handbook cover a wide range of topics, from the foundations of international political thought to the latest debates in the field. They are designed to give readers a comprehensive overview of the key concepts and arguments within international political the...
Performances of Peace: Utrecht 1713
The Peace of Utrecht (1713), which brought an end to the War of the Spanish Succession, was a milestone in global history. Performances of Peace aims to rethink the significance of the Peace of Utrecht by exploring the nexus between culture and politics. For too long, cultural and political historians have studied early modern international relations in isolation. By studying the political as well as the cultural aspects of this peace (and its concomitant paradoxes) from a broader perspective, this volume aims to shed new light on the relation between diplomacy and performative culture in the public sphere. Contributors are: Samia Al-Shayban, Lucien Bély, Renger E. de Bruin, Suzan van Dijk, Heinz Duchhardt, Julie Farguson, Linda Frey, Marsha Frey, Willem Frijhoff, Henriette Goldwyn, Cornelis van der Haven, Clare Jackson, Lotte Jensen, Phil McCluskey, Jane O. Newman, Aaron Alejandro Olivas, David Onnekink. This book is available in Open Access.
Early Modern European Diplomacy
New Diplomatic History has turned into one of the most dynamic and innovative areas of research – especially with regard to early modern history. It has shown that diplomacy was not as homogenous as previously thought. On the contrary, it was shaped by a multitude of actors, practices and places. The handbook aims to characterise these different manifestations of diplomacy and to contextualise them within ongoing scientific debates. It brings together scholars from different disciplines and historiographical traditions. The handbook deliberately focuses on European diplomacy – although non-European areas are taken into account for future research – in order to limit the framework and ensure precise definitions of diplomacy and its manifestations. This must be the prerequisite for potential future global historical perspectives including both the non-European and the European world.
Herzog Bernhard von Weimar
Als Herzog Bernhard von Weimar (1604-1639) Ende 1638 die Festung Breisach einnahm, schien es eine Wende im Dreißigjährigen Krieg zu geben. Ihm war ein entscheidender Schlag gegen Habsburg gelungen. Der Herzog selbst wollte sich hier am Rhein und im Elsass eine Territorialherrschaft aufbauen. Bernhard, einer der wichtigsten Militärunternehmer dieses Krieges, agierte zwischen und mit den großen Mächten: Dänemark, Schweden, Frankreich, stets gegen den Kaiser. Ihm ging es um Herrschaft, finanziellen Gewinn, Ruhm, den lutherischen Glauben und die reichsständischen Freiheiten. Die Biographie zeigt den Heerführer und Politiker Bernhard, sie fragt nach der Finanzierung seines Krieges und der Versorgung seiner Weimarischen Armee, nicht zuletzt durch die Eidgenossenschaft, wie nach seinen medialen Strategien. Die ambitionierten Bündnisprojekte des Herzogs, geplante Ehen und seine Verbindungen zu Zeitgenossen wie Hugo Grotius, der Königin von Böhmen oder Herzog Henri de Rohan, dem Hugenottenführer, lassen politische und diplomatische Beziehungsnetze im protestantischen Europa sichtbar werden.

Miteinander leben?
Im Unterschied zu den meisten anderen Territorien des Heiligen Römischen Reiches Deutscher Nation kam es im Fürstbistum Osnabrück in Folge der Reformation nicht zur Ausbildung eines konfessionell einheitlichen, geschlossenen Gebietes. Vielmehr entwickelte sich nach der Einführung des lutherischen Bekenntnisses 1543 und dem Scheitern dieses Reformationsversuchs 1548 eine konfessionelle Gemengelage von Katholizismus und Luthertum. Der Westfälische Friede schließlich bestätigte formell den im Verlauf des vorausgegangenen Jahrhunderts entstandenen Zustand und schuf mit der alternativen Sukzession eine reichsweit einmalige Lösung, die bis zum Ende des Alten Reiches 1803 Bestand haben soll...
