Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book follows the evolution of Europe's political system from its Medieval origins through to the onset of the Napoleonic era. It details the transformation from a decentralised feudal society into one characterised by nation-states and a complex system of international diplomacy. The author frames their analysis around the concept of a 'states system', defined by the independence and interaction of its members, and traces how this system became defined by monarchical power and religious difference. They argue that the Holy Roman Empire was central to the stability of this system, and that the principle of balance of power was its guarantor. The sacredness of legitimate authority, the maritime powers, family connections and the development of international law are also identified as key factors underpinning the system. The concluding analysis highlights the devastating impact of the French Revolution on this system.
