Challenging dominant interpretations of the period, this book shows that early eighteenth-century Spanish authors turned to Enlightenment ideas to reinvent Spain's role in the European balance of power. And while international law grew to provide a legal framework that could safeguard peace, Spanish officials, diplomats, and authors, hardened by the failure of Spanish diplomacy, sought instead to regulate international relations by drawing on investment, profit, and self-interest. The book shows, on the basis of new archival research, that the Diplomatic Enlightenment sought to turn the Spanish Empire into a space for closer political cooperation with other European and non-European states and empires. 410 0$aHistory of European political and constitutional thought ;$vVolume 5. 606 $aEnlightenment$zSpain$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aSpain$xForeign relations$y18th century 615 0$aEnlightenment$xHistory 676 $a327.2092 700 $aJones Corredera$b Edward$01640951 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823319103321 996 $aThe diplomatic enlightenment$93984740 997 $aUNINA
