Description
Summary:"'Confession and Politics in the Principality of Transylvania' is a survey of the changing role the confessional element played in the foreign policy of this East Central European principality, which has traditionally been seen as a counterexample to the confessionalisation thesis even though its rulers were consistent supporters of the Protestant cause during the Thirty Years' War. The evolution of the foreign policy of Princes György Rákóczi I and II is presented alongside the argumentation they used to justify their political action before and after the Peace of Westphalia, which makes it possible to identify how confessional cooperation lost its prominence." --
