It is also an important study for our assessment of eighteenth-century Britain, and also, more generally, for an understanding of the role of contingency in the assessment of political systems. Reflecting over a quarter-century of work on parliamentary sources, the book highlights the influence of Parliament, positive and negative, direct and indirect, on foreign policy and politics. It also has great contemporary relevance as we consider the effectiveness of democratic states when confronting authoritarian rivals, and the rights of representative bodies to be consulted before wars are launched. 517 3 $aParliament & Foreign Policy in the Eighteenth Century 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$y18th century 676 $a327.41/009/033 700 $aBlack$b Jeremy$f1955-$0144601 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784312103321 996 $aParliament and foreign policy in the eighteenth century$93713545 997 $aUNINA
