Following France's annexation after the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Alsace evolved a political culture in between that of the putatively "absolute" France and the decentralized Holy Roman Empire. This dissertation analyzes the interaction of French and German political cultures and practices in Alsace from the Peace of Westphalia to the French Revolution through a case study of the Alsatian territories ruled by the dukes of Pfalz-Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld, a rising dinasty that inherited the Duchy of Pfalz-Zweibrücken in 1773, and their administrations. It illustrates the contingent nature of political change and state building in early modern Europe, strips the state of the teleological trappings placed on it by later historians, and restores the early modern state to its proper historical context. The dissertation has two primary arguments. First, both newcomers, the French monarchy and the dukes of Pfalz-Zweibrücken shared power in a successful bid to develop and maintain political legitimacy. The relative authority of the two powers varied considerably depending on the specific territory ; the final division of power therefore did too. In France, French monarchy served as the political center. The individual rulers of the Holy Roman Empire ruled a plethora of different principalities, free cities, and ecclesiastical states. In Alsace, the French monarchy and the dukes of Pfalz-Zweibrücken formed two seperate political centers. Second, my dissertation takes advantage of recent historiography on the early modern state to argue for the critical role of seigneurial officials in building and embodying the state. As they executed their tasks in face-to-face encounters with subjects, they bound together the ducal government that appointed them, the French administration that approved them, and the local communities that accepted them into an indissoluble whole. In short, they were the crucial mediators of authority for both state centers. I call this process state building through the middle. This study therefore demonstrates the how and the why of early modern state building, the lilitations of focusing on the view from above, and the critical position of subjects and officials in the middle.

The formation of states in early modern Europe has long been an important topic for historical analysis. Traditionally, the political and military struggles of kings and rulers were the favoured object of study for academic historians. This book highlights new historical research from Europe’s northern frontier, bringing ‘the people’ back into the discussion of state politics, presenting alternative views of political and social relations in the Nordic countries before industrialisation. The early modern period was a time that witnessed initiatives from people from many groups formally excluded from political influence, operating outside the structures of central government, and this book returns to the subject of contentious politics and state building from below.

Christian history in rural central Germany principally followed not a Catholic and Protestant course but rather an indigenous one, which agricultural and communal forces animated and which bifurcated in the wake of the 1648 Peace of Westphalia.

Here, Lachmann offers a new explanation for the origins of nation-states and capitalist markets in early modern Europe. Comparing regions and cities within and across England, France, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands from the 12th through 18th centuries, he shows how conflict among feudal elites---landlords, clerics, kings, and officeholders---transformed the bases of their control over land and labor, forcing the winners of feudal conflicts to become capitalists in spite of themselves as they took defensive actions to protect their privileges from rivals in the aftermath of the Reformation.

Driven by a desire for glory and renown, Louis XIV presided over France's last great burst of territorial expansion in Europe. During the first three decades of his rule, his armies conquered numerous territories along France's borders. After 1688, however, the tide of conquest turned as the kingdom was plunged into crisis. For the remainder of his reign, the king and his people endured wars against grand alliances of European powers, ecological disasters, economic depression, state bankruptcy, and demographic stagnation. Expansion and Crisis in Louis XIV's France examines these central yet understudied aspects of the age of the Sun King through the experience of Franche-Comté, a possession of the Spanish empire with a long history of autonomy, conquered by Louis XIV in 1674. Dee's detailed research reconstructs the ensuing dialogue -- sometimes harmonious, sometimes discordant -- between the king and the elites who ruled this province. The integration of Franche-Comté into France proved to be a protracted process involving confrontation, negotiation, and compromise. The resulting regime was then severely tested by the challenges of Louis XIV's late reign; its survival demonstrated how the king had brought a distinctly early modern state to the height of its development. This study offers significant new insights on the growth of the territorial state in early modern Europe, the nature of the French absolute monarchy, and the political legacy of the Sun King.

Using the case of early-sixteenth-century Antwerp, argues that practices of religious toleration in the Christian West first emerged not as the outgrowth of beliefs about human rights, but as a practical consequence of religious coexistence.
