Stevens ii During that twenty-year period an immense number of fields were left untilled, houses were burned, trade changed its direction, millions of men migrated, were impoverished or were enriched, and millions of Christian men professing the law of love of their fellows slew one another. What does all this mean? Why did it happen? What made those people burn houses and slay their fellow men? What were the causes of these events? What force made men act so? These are the instinctive, plain, and most legitimate questions humanity asks itself when it encounters the monuments and traditions of that period. [...] What force moves the nations?

Establishing and maintaining order is what law seems to be all about.‘ - Paul Vinogradoff -1 1 Vinogradoff, 1923, p. 4. 1 2 Introduction H8on't you realise I have power either to free you or to crucify you?‘ exclaimed Pontius Pilate, according to the Gospel by St. John,2 in reaction to the way the suspect brought before him responded to the accusations raised against Him. In a brave attempt to say anything sensible from a legal point of view about what probably is the most famous ”historical trial‘ in Western civilization, Eltjo Schrage claims to see in this verse one of the most impressing expressions of the preca- rious relation between power and law.3 If there was a trial altogether, the Roman governor in Judea here dropped the veil of justice to refer to his power. Law exists to bring and maintain order, to moderate power and prevent its arbitrary use and, at the same time, law needs power to be effective and power can make use of law. A sword can wound and kill and yet it has to be an attribute of justice, whereas the sword needs the scales and blindfold, too. Neither positions to which the law is nothing more than the command of those in power, nor ones to which the law upholds moral standards independent of and most often against mere power, can ignore this ambiguous relation between power and law that has dominated the domains of political philosophy and public law for centuries and will probably do so for as long as human society exists. At the national level power and law have merged into authority: legitimised, institutionalised and channelled power embedded in a constitution and centred in a political organisation that acts as the commanding sovereign and has monopolised the legitimate use of force. Characteristically for the modern states system, this national level is separated from the supranational or international level, where the relation between power and law is more ambiguous. International society, to use Hedley Bull‘s characterisation, is anarchical.4 There the ”struggle for power‘ peculiar to all politics takes place in different ways and within the framework of different institutions.5 It lacks a supreme command centre that determines what the law is and how the law is interpreted, administered, and enforced. That is not a sign of international law‘s immaturity œ it not having developed into a real and complete legal system yet, as Edward H. Carr has it œ,6 but of the very foundations international society is based upon: the co-existence of territorially based, autonomous political communities called sove- reign states. In that anarchical society both power and law can exist separately and in relation to one another. 2 John 19:10. 3 Schrage, 2003, p. 363. 4 Bull, 2002. 5 Morgenthau, 2004, p. 52. 6 Carr, 2001, p. 159. 3 At the centre of this study are the ways power affects the international legal order. Is power translated into law, legal status and legal procedures? Is power recognised by the law of nations and incorporated within the international legal order? Does law contain power or is law an instrument in the hands of the powerful? Unlike most studies in diplomatic history,7 the argument is not on great powers, but on relations between great powers and minor powers providing a case study on Revolutionary France and one of its satellite republics. Thus, this is especially a book on a period in European history œ the era of the French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802) œ in which one power œ the French Republic œ got in a political and military position that enabled it to undermine the legal assumption of the equality of autonomous actors within the international system, or at least in western Europe. This book sets out to find out whether France did and was allowed to do precisely this. One is not lead to believe that the kind of great power-minor power relations described and analysed throughout this volume is peculiar to the Revolutionary era. Asymmetric alliances and political dependence of formally independent entities, personal unions or entities united because of dynastic links between their respective rulers were not exceptional in early modern Europe: e.g. Austria and its Italian dominions and secundogenitures, Britain and Portugal, Britain and the United Provinces, Prussia and northern Germany, Spain and Parma. Nevertheless, this study sets out to deliver a case study on one of those situations in which a minor power was brought under the political and military control of a neighbouring power within a very specific context. Franco-Batavian relations, no doubt, were contingent of the Revolution and Revolutionary Wars. The Revolutionary Wars, in addition to the crisis in eastern Europe during the 1770s and 1780s,8 disrupted the European balance of power and the eighteenth-century political and legal order that had arisen after the great peace conferences of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.9 For some years Revolutionary and Napoleonic France dominated western Europe. Even in 1799-1800, when the joint effort of all other great powers save neutral Prussia gave the French a difficult time, the Revolutionary armies succeeded in turning the tide. From 1794 until the Battle of Leipzig (16-19 October 1813) there was an ever-increasing political and military imbalance within the European states system. The advance of the French Revolutionary armies caused the creation of allied republics in the Netherlands, Italy, and Switzerland. At the same time, that period witnessed an intensive debate on the European order and the law of nations due to a sense of a new world 7 Black, 2002, p. 42. 8 Schroeder, 1994, p. 23. 9 Kissinger, 1974, p. 4. 4 order arising or to be created. The Revolution introduced into political practice some, more or less new political and legal ideas that had potentially severe consequences for the international legal order. In the first place the influence of Enlightened idealism and cosmopolitanism was still felt, e.g. in the stress on pacifism, good faith in interstate relations and ”federalism.‘10 In the second place, the Revolutionary concept of popular sovereignty challenged or threatened to change some of the fundamentals of the European order: e.g.

  • The Treaty of Lunéville J. David Markham When Napoleon Became
    The Treaty of Lunéville J. David Markham When Napoleon became First Consul in 1799, his first order of business was to defend France against the so-called Second Coalition. This coalition was made up of a number of smaller countries led by Austria, Russia and Britain. The Austrians had armies in Germany and in Piedmont, Italy. Napoleon sent General Jean Moreau to Germany while he, Napoleon, marched through Switzerland to Milan and then further south, toward Alessandria. As Napoleon, as First Consul, was not technically able to lead an army, the French were technically under the command of General Louis Alexandre Berthier. There, on 14 June 1800, the French defeated the Austrian army led by General Michael von Melas. This victory, coupled with Moreau’s success in Germany, lead to a general peace negotiation resulting in the Treaty of Lunéville (named after the town in France where the treaty was signed by Count Ludwig von Cobenzl for Austria and Joseph Bonaparte for Austria. The treaty secured France’s borders on the left bank of the Rhine River and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. France ceded territory and fortresses on the right bank, and various republics were guaranteed their independence.

  • Scholars, Travellers and Trade
    SCHOLARS, TRAVELLERS AND TRADE Today, the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden is internationally known for its outstanding archaeological collections. Yet its origins lie in an insignificant assortment of artefacts used for study by Leiden University. How did this transformation come about? Ruurd Halbertsma has delved into the archives to show that the appoint- ment of Caspar Reuvens as Professor of Archaeology in 1818 was the crucial turning point. He tells the dramatic story of Reuvens’ struggle to establish the museum, with battles against rival scholars, red tape and the Dutch attitude of neglect towards archaeological monuments. It was Reuvens who trained archaeological agents to investigate and excavate ancient sites, and bring back the antiquities on which the museum’s importance rests. Though he was operating long before the current debate on whether collecting anti- quities is legal trade or cultural looting, Reuvens recognized the potential ethical problems inherent in achieving a world-class collection. In this, he was ahead of his time. Scholars, Travellers and Trade throws new light on the process of creating a national museum and the difficulties of convincing society of the value of the past – issues with which museums are still wrestling. It also highlights the difficulties that an archaeological pioneer had in establishing his discip- line as a fully accepted branch of academia. Ruurd B. Halbertsma is Curator of the Classical Department at the National Museum of Antiquities, Leiden, The Netherlands. i ii SCHOLARS, TRAVELLERS AND TRADE The pioneer years of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden, 1818–40 R.B.

Chef van de redactie buitenland was dr. Anton Constandse. Van 1946 tot en met 1948 had ik de opleiding voor de diplomatieke dienst gevolgd van het Nederlands Opleidings Instituut voor het Buitenland (NOIB) op Nijenrode. Van 1948 tot en met 1950 volgde ik op het Yale College in New Haven, Connecticut, de studie Political Science and International Relations. Inmiddels 25 jaar geworden twijfelde ik steeds meer aan een leven als ambtenaar van het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken.

  • The Dutch Revolution of 1795 and the History of Republicanism Wyger RE
    Much in Little Revisited: The Dutch Revolution of 1795 and the History of Republicanism Wyger R.E. Velema, Department of History, University of Amsterdam Paper prepared for the conference ‘The Republican Tradition: From the Hanseatic League to the Era of the Enlightenment’, European University at St. Petersburg, December 7-9, 2012 Not to be quoted or cited without permission from the author It is more than half a century ago that R.R. Palmer, who was soon to become famous with his magisterial work The Age of the Democratic Revolution, introduced an international scholarly audience to the Dutch revolution of 1795, also known as the Batavian revolution. In his pioneering article ‘Much in Little: the Dutch Revolution of 1795’, he pointed out that the fall of the Dutch ancien régime and the revolutionary transformation of the Netherlands that followed this downfall could best be understood as part of an international and interlinked series of revolutionary events.1 On a small scale, the Batavian revolution therefore could serve to ‘illuminate the whole complex of war and revolution which then gripped the Western world’.2 As he made abundantly clear in the title of his later magnum opus, Palmer had a relatively simple and straightforward view of the struggles that tore the Western world of the late eighteenth century apart. Just as democracy had been at issue in the Dutch revolution of 1795, the whole European and American world of the final decades of the century of Enlightenment saw the rise of a new and historically unprecedented democratic opposition against all sorts of aristocratic ‘constituted bodies’.

In examining the wider logic of French imperial expansion around the Mediterranean, this dissertation bridges the Revolutionary, Napoleonic, Restoration (1815-30), July Monarchy (1830-48), Second Republic (1848-52), and Second Empire (1852-70) periods.

  • Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83747-7 - Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More information Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 England’s response to the Revolt of the Netherlands (1568–1648) has been studied hitherto mainly in terms of government policy, yet the Dutch struggle with Habsburg Spain affected a much wider commu- nity than just the English political elite. It attracted attention across Britain and drew not just statesmen and diplomats but also soldiers, merchants, religious refugees, journalists, travellers and students into the confl ict. Hugh Dunthorne draws on pamphlet literature to reveal how British contemporaries viewed the progress of their near neigh- bours’ rebellion, and assesses the lasting impact which the Revolt and the rise of the Dutch Republic had on Britain’s domestic history. The book explores affi nities between the Dutch Revolt and the British civil wars of the seventeenth century – the fi rst major challenges to royal authority in modern times – showing how much Britain’s chang- ing commercial, religious and political culture owed to the country’s involvement with events across the North Sea. HUGH DUNTHORNE specializes in the history of the early modern period, the Dutch revolt and the Dutch republic and empire, the his- tory of war, and the Enlightenment. He was formerly Senior Lecturer in History at Swansea University, and his previous publications include The Enlightenment (1991) and The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Britain and the Low Countries
