How to get out of war: strategies of negotiation and peacemaking in the Early Modern Age
In the Early Modern Age, the themes of war, peace and negotiation with internal and external actors of the different political communities were particularly important and they extended from the European continent to the non-European worlds. It was a phenomenon that involved the society as a whole and not only diplomats and soldiers. The tools and practices adopted by the societies of the ancien régime constructed a complex web of actions and theories that ranged from the construction of the diplomatic system to private negotiation in and out of the judicial sphere.
The class will explore the issues of negotiation, pacification, and warfare in early modern societies, analysing paths and strategies of bargaining and peacemaking between Europe and the Americas and exploring theories and practices of warfare.
The course will also include a reading of Immanuel Kant's Perpetual Peace (1795) as a summa of the experience gained in previous centuries.
