The book charts the 250 year cycle of violent European conflicts followed by new utopian formulations for peace. The utopian illusion was that future was predictable and rules could prescribe behaviour in conflicts to come. Bo Stra?th examines the reiterative bicentenary cycle since 1815, where each new postwar period built on a design for a project for European unification. He sets out the key historical events and the continuous struggle with nationalism, linking them to legal, political and economic thought. Biographical sketches of the most prominent thinkers and actors provide the human element to this narrative. Europe's Utopias of Peace presents a new perspective on the ideological, legal, economic and intellectual conditions that shaped Europe since the 19th century and presents this in a global context. It challenges the conventional narrative on Europe's past as a progressive enlightenment heritage, highlighting the ambiguities of the legacies that pervade the institutional structures of contemporary Europe. Its long-term historical perspective will be invaluable for students of contemporary Europe or modern European history 606 $aDemocracy$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aNationalism$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aPeace$xPolitical aspects$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aSocial movements$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aUtopias$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aUtopias$zEurope$xHistory$y20th century 606 $2European history 607 $aEurope$xCommerce$xHistory 607 $aEurope$xHistory, Military 607 $aEurope$xPolitics and government$y19th century 607 $aEurope$xPolitics and government$y20th century 615 0$aDemocracy$xHistory. 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory. 615 0$aPeace$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial movements$xHistory. 615 0$aUtopias$xHistory 615 0$aUtopias$xHistory 676 $a940.2/8 676 $a320.94 700 $aStra?th$b Bo$f1943-$01645580 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818562203321 996 $aEurope's utopias of peace$94018290 997 $aUNINA
