Smallpower diplomacy in seventeenth century EuropeWar,State and Society in Liege is afascinating case study of the consequences of war in the Prince-Bishopric of Liegeand touches upon wider issues in early modern history, such as small powerdiplomacy in the seventeenth century and during the Nine Years War.For centuries, the small semi-independent Holy Roman Principalityof Liege succeeded in preserving a non-belligerent role in European conflicts. Duringthe Nine Years War (1688 1697), however, Liege s leaders had to abolish thepractice of neutrality. For the first time in its early modern history, thePrince-Bishopric had to raise a regular army, reconstruct ruined defencestructures, and supply army contributions in both money and material.The issues underdiscussion in War, State and Society inLiege offer the reader insight into how Liege politically protected its powerfulinstitutions and how the local elite tried to influence the interplay betweendomestic and external diplomatic relationships.This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).
