Explores the development of a 'European security culture' from the Congress of Vienna to the First World War.
This volume by a team of leading historians and scholars of international relations reveals the political and cultural transformations that took place in Europe in and after 1815, and contributes to debates within international relations about security, securitisation and security culture.After the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, the leaders of Europe at the Congress of Vienna aimed to establish a new balance of power. The settlement established in 1815 ushered in the emergence of a genuinely European security culture. In this volume, leading historians offer new insights into the military cooperation, ambassadorial conferences, transnational police networks, and international commissions that helped produce stability. They delve into the lives of diplomats, ministers, police officers and bankers, and many others who were concerned with peace and security on and beyond the European continent. This volume is a crucial contribution to the debates on securitisation and security cultures emerging in response to threats to the international order.
