This book is the first study to engage with the relationship
between cosmopolitan political thought and the history of global
conflicts. Accompanied by visual material ranging from critical
battle painting to the photographic representation of ruins, it
showcases established as well as emerging interdisciplinary
scholarship in global political thought and cultural history.
Touching on the progressive globalization of conflicts between the
eighteenth and the twentieth century, including the War of the
Spanish Succession, the Seven Years’ War, the Napoleonic wars, the
two World Wars, as well as seemingly ‘internal’ civil wars in
eastern Europe’s imperial frontiers, it shows how these conflicts
produced new zones of cultural contact. The authors build on a rich
foundation of unpublished sources drawn from public institutions as
well as private archives, allowing them to shed new light on the
British, Russian, German, Ottoman, American, and transnational
history of international thought and political engagement.
