After Louis XIV’s decease, European international relations were dominated by the collaboration between James Stanhope and Guillaume Dubois. Their alliance focused on the amendment and enlargement of the peace treaties of Utrecht, Rastatt and Baden. In-depth analysis of vast archival material uncovers the practical legal arguments used between Hampton Court and Versailles. ‘Balance of Power’ or ‘Tranquillity of Europe’ were in fact metaphors for the predominance of treaty law even over the most fundamental municipal norms. An implacable logic of norm hierarchy allowed to consolidate peace in Europe.Legal history library ;Volume 17.Legal history library.Studies in the history of international law ;Volume 7.International lawEuropeHistory18th centuryBalance of powerEuropeHistory18th centuryEuropeForeign relations18th centuryGreat BritainForeign relations18th centuryInternational lawHistoryBalance of powerHistory341.3/709409033Dhondt Frederik1984-786045MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815283003321Balance of power and norm hierarchy1750157UNINA
