‎The articles in this volume cover a broad range of disciplines, times, and geographical areas and explore strategies that were used in the Middle Ages and Renaissance to resolve conflict and attain peace, a concept at times constructed as a rich and complex, positive and dynamic ideal. Peace was far from a pale, static concept - a simple lack of violence - in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Rather, it was at times constructed as a rich and complex, positive and dynamic ideal. The thirteen articles in this volume cover a broad range of disciplines, times, and geographical areas and explore strategies that were used in the past to resolve conflict and attain peace. They examine events, texts, and images that date from the fifth through the sixteenth centuries, and their authors focus not only on Western Europe, but also on Scandinavia, the Caucusus, and Egypt. This volume rests on the assumption that peace covers a spectrum of situations that connects the personal and the political. Therefore, the papers presented here examine not only how nations negotiated peace, but also how individuals did. Similarly, although several essays spotlight those in the seat of power, others explore those who are politically marginalized. our views about peace and conflict, as this collection makes clear, are shaped in part by the mentalites of the past. Although some peacemaking strategies may be unacceptable to us today - forced marriages and conversions, for example - we can learn from other strategies how to transcend or modify various modes of antagonistic thinking.

‎Sweden, Russia, and the 1617 Peace of Stolbovo‎

‎Summary In 1617, after seven years of war between Sweden and Russia and talks facilitated by English and Dutch diplomats, the peace treaty of Stolbovo was signed. This important but little-studied document was to form the basis for relationships between Sweden and Russia for the next one hundred years, before it was replaced by the Peace of Nystad in 1721, and it had a huge influence on the lives of the people who lived in the region. This wide-ranging volume draws together contributions by scholars from Britain, Sweden, Germany, Estonia, Russia, and Finland to offer new insights into, and analysis of this peace treaty and its impact on the wider region during the seventeenth century. Covering disciplines including political and economic history, church history, and Slavonic and Classical philology, the chapters gathered here shed new light on, and provide a new understanding of, the Early Modern period in the Baltic Sea area.

‎Königsberg: Friedrich Nicolovius, 1796. 8vo. In contemporary half calf with gilt lettering to spine. Paper-label pasted on to top of spine. Internally light occassional brownspotting but generally a nice copy and clean copy. 112 pp.‎

‎Second expanded edition in which Kant outlines his ideas for achieving perpetual peace among nations. Kant argues that true peace can only be achieved through the establishment of a federation of free states, a republican form of government, and loyalty to principles of international law and diplomacy. He also discusses the concept of cosmopolitan right, which proposes that all humans have certain rights as citizens of the world. Kant's ideas in ""Perpetual Peace"" have had a significant influence on political philosophy and international relations theory and is by many seen as the first true modern democratic peace theory.
