This book is the first study that analyses bilateral commercial
treaties as instruments of peace and trade comparatively and over
time. The work focuses on commercial treaties as an index of the
challenges of eighteenth-century European politics, shaping a new
understanding of these challenges and of how they were confronted
at the time in theory and diplomatic practice. From the middle of
the seventeenth century to the time of the Napoleonic wars
bilateral commercial treaties were concluded not only at the end of
large-scale wars accompanying peace settlements, but also
independently with the aim to prevent or contain war through
controlling the balance of trade between states. Commercial
treaties were also understood by major political writers across
Europe as practical manifestations of the wider intellectual
problem of devising a system of interstate trade in which the
principles of reciprocity and equality were combined to produce
sustainable peaceful economic development.
