Abstract

Small power diplomacy in the seventeenth century.00'War, State and Society in Liege' is a fascinating case study of the consequences of war in the Prince-Bishopric of Liege and touches upon wider issues in early modern history, such as small power diplomacy in the seventeenth century and during the Nine Years? War.00For centuries, the small semi-independent Holy Roman Principality of Liege succeeded in preserving a non-belligerent role in European conflicts. During the Nine Years? War (1688?1697), however, Liege?s leaders had to abolish the practice of neutrality. For the first time in its early modern history, the Prince-Bishopric had to raise a regular army, reconstruct ruined defence structures and supply army contributions in both money and material.00The issues under discussion in War, State and Society in Liege offer the reader insight into how Liege politically protected its powerful institutions and how the local elite tried to influence the interplay between domestic and external diplomatic relationships.
