"Money, money, and more money." In the eyes of early modern warlords, these were the three essential prerequisites for waging war. The transnational studies presented here describe and explain how belligerent powers did indeed rely on thriving markets where military entrepreneurs provided mercenaries, weapons, money, credit, food, expertise, and other services. In a fresh and comprehensive examination of pre-national military entrepreneurship – its actors, structures and economic logic – this volume shows how readily business relationships for supplying armies in the 17th and 18th centuries crossed territorial and confessional boundaries. By outlining and explicating early modern military entrepreneurial fields of action, this new transnational perspective transcends the limits of national historical approaches to the business of war. Contributors are Astrid Ackermann, John Condren, Jasmina Cornut, Michael Depreter, Sébastien Dupuis, Marian Füssel, Julien Grand, André Holenstein, Katrin Keller, Michael Paul Martoccio, Tim Neu, David Parrott, Alexander Querengässer, Philippe Rogger, Guy Rowlands, Benjamin Ryser, Regula Schmid, and Peter H. Wilson.

Die "Bauern zwischen Bauernkrieg und Dreißigjährigem Krieg" waren im 16./17. Jahrhundert auf höchst unterschiedliche Weise in die historischen Ereignisse einbezogen: im einen Fall als eigenständige Akteure einer politisch-religiösen Auseinandersetzung von weltgeschichtlicher Bedeutung, im anderen Fall weitgehend als Opfer eines politisch-militärischen Konflikts der europäischen Mächte, der der breiten Bevölkerung, insbesondere auch auf dem Land, alle Überlebenskraft abforderte. Der Autor beschreibt die Formen des Wirtschaftens und sozialen Zusammenlebens von Bauern in dieser Zeit, untersucht die Strukturen kommunaler Organisation auf dem Land, schildert feudale und staatliche Herrschaft als zentrale Faktoren in der Ausgestaltung der ländlich-bäuerlichen Lebensverhältnisse, die Holenstein nicht zuletzt auch als Ergebnis des politischen Handelns der Bauern selbst interpretiert. Seine besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt der sozialen, wirtschaftlichen, politischen und kulturellen Dynamik und ihren Ausprägungen in der bäuerlichen Lebenswelt.

La Suisse n'est pas une île coupée du monde, elle ne l'a jamais été. Des relations politiques, économiques, militaires et culturelles l'ont toujours liée à l'Europe environnante, même si, en même temps, elle n'a cessé d'avoir tendance à l'isolement. Dans son histoire transnationale de la Suisse, André Holenstein remonte aux racines de la Confédération pour analyser ses relations extérieures, depuis le XVe siècle jusqu'à l'instauration de l'État fédéral. L'auteur dégage deux constantes dans les tensions qui marquent la Suisse aujourd'hui encore : l'ouverture à l'Europe et au monde ; le repli sur soi. L'ouvrage montre ainsi comment la Confédération a pris conscience de son identité et de son existence autonome au XVe siècle, et pourquoi la Suisse existe encore aujourd'hui, au début du XXIe siècle. -- Quatrième de couverture

This volume explores the emergence of the state in Europe between the fourteenth and nineteenth centuries. Through a series of case studies and historiographical, methodological and theoretical essays, it challenges the traditional top-down model of state development long held by historians. Instead it explores the numerous ways in which non-elite groups could influence the formation of national political institutions
