Transformations in the Culture of International Relations Around the Peace of Utrecht

Edición de la obra New Worlds?

"The Peace of Utrecht (1713) was perhaps the first political treaty that had a global impact. It not only ended a European-wide conflict, but led to a cessation of hostilities on the American continent and Indian subcontinent, as well as naval warfare worldwide. The treaty also marked an important step in the development of an integrated world-wide political system. By reconsidering the preconditions, negotiations and consequences of the Peace of Utrecht--rather than focusing on previous concerns with international relations and diplomacy--this book helps embed events in a richer context of diverging networks, globalizing empires, expanding media and changing identities"--Provided by publisher.
