This book aims to reinterpret current perceptions of the Dutch Forty Years War (1672-1713), usually regarded as a struggle against the expansionism of Louis XIV, birthing the European balance of power. Particular attention is given to recent international relations theory, through the examination of popular and official documents, as well as political and diplomatic correspondence. While focusing on the emergence and appropriation of Universal Monarchy and Balance of Power discourses, this book also provides counter discourses, allowing readers to explore the lively domestic debate on foreign policy along partisan lines.

For victims of persecution around the world, attracting international media attention for their plight is often a matter of life and death. This study takes us back to the news revolution of seventeenth-century Europe, when people first discovered in the press a powerful new weapon to combat religiously inspired maltreatments, executions, and massacres. To affect and mobilize foreign audiences, confessional minorities and their advocates faced an acute dilemma, one that we still grapple with today: how to make people care about distant suffering? David de Boer argues that by answering this question, they laid the foundations of a humanitarian culture in Europe. As consuming news became an everyday practice for many Europeans, the Dutch Republic emerged as an international hub of printed protest against religious violence. De Boer traces how a diverse group of people, including Waldensians refugees, Huguenot ministers, Savoyard office holders, and many others, all sought access to the Dutch printing presses in their efforts to raise transnational solidarity for their cause. By generating public outrage, calling out rulers, and pressuring others to intervene, producers of printed opinion could have a profound impact on international relations. But crying out against persecution also meant navigating a fraught and dangerous political landscape, marked by confessional tension, volatile alliances, and incessant warfare. Opinion makers had to think carefully about the audiences they hoped to reach through pamphlets, periodicals, and newspapers. But they also had to reckon with the risk of reaching less sympathetic readers outside their target groups. By examining early modern publicity strategies, de Boer deepens our understanding of how people tried to shake off the spectre of religious violence that had haunted them for generations, and create more tolerant societies, governed by the rule of law, reason, and a sense of common humanity.

A bold new look at war and diplomacy in Europe that traces the idea of a unified continent in attempts since the eighteenth century to engineer lasting peace. Political peace in Europe has historically been elusive and ephemeral. Stella Ghervas shows that since the eighteenth century, European thinkers and leaders in pursuit of lasting peace fostered the idea of European unification. Bridging intellectual and political history, Ghervas draws on the work of philosophers from Abbé de Saint-Pierre, who wrote an early eighteenth-century plan for perpetual peace, to Rousseau and Kant, as well as statesmen such as Tsar Alexander I, Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill, Robert Schuman, and Mikhail Gorbachev. She locates five major conflicts since 1700 that spurred such visionaries to promote systems of peace in Europe: the War of the Spanish Succession, the Napoleonic Wars, World War I, World War II, and the Cold War. Each moment generated a “spirit” of peace among monarchs, diplomats, democratic leaders, and ordinary citizens. The engineers of peace progressively constructed mechanisms and institutions designed to prevent future wars. Arguing for continuities from the ideals of the Enlightenment, through the nineteenth-century Concert of Nations, to the institutions of the European Union and beyond, Conquering Peace illustrates how peace as a value shaped the idea of a unified Europe long before the EU came into being. Today the EU is widely criticized as an obstacle to sovereignty and for its democratic deficit. Seen in the long-range perspective of the history of peacemaking, however, this European society of states emerges as something else entirely: a step in the quest for a less violent world.

Klem tussen Johan de Witt en Willem III. Zo kan men de positie van de Goudse regent en diplomaat Hiëronymus van Beverningk in 1672 het beste kenschetsen. Aanvankelijk steunt hij het bewind van raadspensionaris De Witt, maar geleidelijk verandert hij van gedachten en ziet hij voor prins Willem III wel een toekomst weggelegd in de Republiek. Toen de Republiek in het Rampjaar 1672 werd aangevallen door de Engelsen, Fransen en de bisschoppen van Munster en Keulen, streed Beverningk aan de zijde van Willem III. Na de moord op de gebroeders De Witt door Oranjegezinden vreesde hij voor zijn leven. Maar Willem III, inmiddels stadhouder, zorgde ervoor dat zijn politieke vrienden geen wraak namen. Zo kon Van Beverningk zijn diplomatieke carrière weer oppakken. ‘Van Beverningk: een van de machtigste mannen van de Gouden Eeuw over wie u waarschijnlijk bijna niets weet. Volkomen terecht dat Wout Troost zijn optreden tijdens het Rampjaar onder de aandacht brengt.’ - Sander Enderink, historicus, werkzaam voor de Stichting Oud-Hollandse Waterlinie ‘Wout Troost slaagt erin de complexe stof helder uit te leggen, waardoor het boek voor zowel de geïnteresseerde leek als voor gespecialiseerde historici een handig overzicht biedt.‘ - Frank de Hoog, Tijdschrift Holland
