The Dutch Revolt, the secession of the northern provinces from the Spanish empire, the formation of the Dutch Republic and the reconstitution of Habsburg authority in the south, fostered tense debates among scholars and political leaders about the legitimacy, organisation and processes of law and governance. This made the Low Countries a prime battlefield for theoretical and political contestations about the nature of public authority and the relations between different layers of government in early-modern Europe. The book approaches this historical debate from three angles: (1) political theoretical, (2) legal, and (3) politico-historical.Legal history library ;Volume 47.Nation-buildingNetherlandsHistoryNetherlandsPolitics and government1556-1648NetherlandsForeign relations1556-1648NetherlandsHistoryEighty Years' War, 1568-1648NetherlandsKings and rulersNation-buildingHistory.949.203De Bom ErikLesaffer RandallThomas WernerMiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910813863003321Early modern sovereignties4124043UNINA
