Transformation of European Politics, 1763-1848 Episode or Model in Modern History

This book takes up the claim that the European states system underwent a fundamental transformation in the revolutionary, Napoleonic, and Vienna eras. This shift went from a system of competitive, conflictual power politics based purely on a shifting balance of power, to a more consensual, stable, and peaceful set of relations based on legality, acknowledged rights and obligations, and shared norms. The contributors to this volume, while examining this claim, primarily extend the debate to the entire history of European and world international politics from the early 17th Century to the present.Kruger, Peter is the author of 'Transformation of European Politics, 1763-1848 Episode or Model in Modern History', published 2003 under ISBN 9780312295523 and ISBN 0312295529.
