Focusing on payments made by the French crown, the contributors explore how subsidies provided opportunities for princes, statesmen, generals and merchant-bankers to pursue their political goals. By highlighting the ways in which the payment and acceptance of subsidies shaped concepts of honour and reputation, the book shows how material interests and questions of identity coalesced. The construction of states and the political debates within polities are seen to have been influenced by the movement of money and resources across borders. Consequently, the interaction between financial and mercantile hubs and networks was vital to state formation in early modern Europe.Subsidies, diplomacy, and state formation in Europe, 1494–1789 Subsidies, diplomacy, and state formation in Europe, 1494–1789 DiplomacySubsidiesDiplomacy.Subsidies.338.922Norrhem SvanteThomson Erik MacDonaldNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910477060703321Subsidies, diplomacy, and state formation in Europe, 1494-17893012847UNINA
