The Rise of Modern Diplomacy 1450 - 1919 cover

This book offers a detailed exploration of the evolution of European diplomacy from 1450 to 1919, filling a critical gap in historical literature.

Though the study of international relations and the dynamics of European states is prevalent, there remains a significant gap in accessible resources regarding the origins, development, and functioning of the diplomatic systems that governed these interactions. The Rise of Modern Diplomacy 1450 - 1919 addresses this oversight by providing a comprehensive examination of how diplomacy evolved and operated over a span of five centuries.

Written by a distinguished international historian, this insightful work delves into the intricate web of diplomatic practices that shaped European relations and influenced global interactions. The author meticulously explores the historical context, highlighting the pivotal moments and shifts that contributed to the establishment of modern diplomatic protocols. Readers are invited to understand not just the mechanics of diplomacy but also the broader aspirations and ideals that emerged from its foundational functions.

With an emphasis on clarity and thoroughness, The Rise of Modern Diplomacy 1450 - 1919 serves as an invaluable resource for students and non-specialists alike. It triumphantly fills a crucial gap in the literature, shedding light on the complexities of diplomatic history and its lasting impact on contemporary international relations. This book is essential for anyone seeking to grasp the evolution of diplomacy and its significance in shaping the world we live in today.

'a most interesting and instructive book... Anderson avoids an English-speaking centred approach by drawing heavily on French, German and Italian writers, thereby making a whole range of unfamiliar material easily accessible to students.'
