The Napoleonic Empire played a crucial role in reshaping global
landscapes and in realigning international power structures on a
worldwide scale. When Napoleon died, the map of many areas had
completely changed, making room for Russia's ascendency and
Britain's rise to world power.
As wars and other conflicts increase on a worldwide scale, the
alleged 'new wars' of the present day have taught that military
victory does not necessarily result in a sustained state of peace.
Rather, societies in conflict experience a 'status mixtus' - a
transformative period that includes substantial changes in economy,
politics, society and culture. Focusing on these decades of
reconstruction in Europe and North America, this book examines the
transformation of state systems, international relations, and
normative principles in international comparison. By putting the
postwar decade after 1945 into a long-term historical perspective,
the chapters illuminate new patterns of transition between war and
peace from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. Experts in the
field show that states and societies are never restituted from a
'zero hour'. They also demonstrate that foreign and domestic policy
are intermixed before and after peace breaks out.
