This volume addresses one of the most debated topics in the historiography of the Spanish Monarchy in the Early Modern Age: its political nature. It examines the most interesting aspects of the Hispanic polycentric model, which presents the Monarchy as a political entity composed of several interconnected units that not only interacted with the king, but also with each other. These connections contributed to the modulation of Court politics and the generation of new forms of collaboration, competition and negotiation. The analysis of four case studies, involving individuals, families and power groups that managed to move within or on the margins of institutional channels, between the Italian and Iberian territories of the Monarchy, allows us to interpret this political entity as something more than the simple juxtaposition of kingdoms under a single king. The result was a State capable of strengthening itself also through the interactions that took place between the local and global spheres thanks to the presence of an articulated system of networks.

This study examines in detail the origins of ultraroyal hostility to the social and political changes rendered by the French Revolution. France has produced a variety of theories of decline, corresponding to the nation's changing political fortunes in Europe and the world. The Revolution represented another, at least temporary, victory of the state apparatus over local community and privilege, and it stimulated the longing, apparent in all parts of the country after the fall of Napoleon, for a return to older forms of society and government that were essentially provincial and rural. The stevedores of Marseille, the fisherman of Brittany, and the peasants of the Auvergne saw plainly enough that the Revolution had not solved the problems of poverty and economic distress. Like the nobles, the ex-parlementarians, and the descendants of local oligarchies, they were hostile to the ascendancy of Paris. On all levels of French society were those who selectively remembered the best of the Old Regime, dwelt on the most obvious failures of the Revolution's religious and welfare policies, and blamed facile utilitarians who did not understand tradition for the destruction of the pre-1789 institutions. This book examines in depth the form that ultraroyalism took in Toulouse.

Guebrè-Heywèt Baykedagne (c.1885-1918) est né dans le district d'Adoua, au Tigré. Passager malgré lui d'un navire de retour vers l'Europe, Guebrè-Heywèt passe une partie de son enfance et de son adolescence en Autriche et en Allemagne. De retour à Addis-Abeba vers 1904, en compagnie de médecins allemands venus soigner l'Empereur, Guebrè-Heywèt connaît une carrière brève et tumultueuse. Nommé chef des douanes, negaddras, en 1918, Guebrè-Heywèt s'est surtout fait un nom par la publication de deux textes : Le gouvernement et l'administration publique, ainsi que L'Empereur Ménélik et l'Éthiopie que réédite et traduit la Maison des études éthiopiennes [NDLE: en 1993]. La première publication de ce pamphlet en 1912 a marqué l'histoire de la pensée réformatrice éthiopienne et il demeure à bien des égards d'actualité.

Desde fines del siglo xx, los historiadores de lo político llevaron adelante una crítica de fondo de la aplicación a la época moderna de conceptos heredados del siglo xix, tales como los de nación o Estado moderno. Así, se ha considerado hasta ahora que existían dos modelos políticos opuestos, sobre todo porque ciertos actores diferenciaban los caracteres y los usos «franceses» y «españoles». ¿En qué medida las monarquías española y francesa pueden seguir concebiéndose como contrapuestas? A partir de la constatación de la naturaleza problemática del concepto de modelo político, en su formulación por la comunidad política, en su recepción exterior y en sus procesos de adaptación, modificación, fusión, etc., esta obra ofrece una visión mucho más compleja, al mostrar que la circulación de las prácticas administrativas y las teorías de gobierno entre ambas monarquías sólo se puede entender en el marco y como expresión de una cultura común.

Der Konflikt zwischen der Hugenottenmetropole La Rochelle und der französischen Krone zwischen 1568 und 1630, der in der spektakulären Belagerung von 1628/29 gipfelte, war ein Kampf um die Legitimation von Herrschaft im frühneuzeitlichen Frankreich. Die neuartige Ideologie der Absoluten Monarchie steht dabei traditionellen, an Konsens und Privilegienwahrung interessierten Modellen gegenüber. Die Studie zeichnet die Durchsetzung dieses "Pilotprojekts Absolutismus" nicht nur als rein ideengeschichtlichen Prozess nach, sondern verortet diesen in konkreten politischen und konfessionellen Auseinandersetzungen zwischen der monarchischen Zentrale und ihrem "Anderen", der reformierten Stadtrepublik La Rochelle am Atlantiksaum. Die Idee der Absoluten Monarchie kann so nicht nur als politische Theorie verstanden werden, sondern vor allem als Argumentationsreservoir im Kampf um die politische Ordnung Frankreichs im Zeitalter der Religionskriege.
