Summary:

This volume deals with the many ways of reaching an agreement (peace, truce, alliance) through a wide geopolitical range of case studies between the 14th and the 18th centuries, and their afterlives up to the 21st century. With a multidisciplinary approach, it demonstrates the complex and multi-layered nature of the process of peacemaking.
