Si vis pacem, para bellum

The Italian Response to International Insecurity 1830-1848

More about the book

Focusing on the transformative years leading up to 1848, the book explores how the actions of great powers destabilized the post-Napoleonic order, fostering mistrust and fear among Europeans. It highlights a shift in perspective among the educated classes regarding international politics, justice, and nation-building, particularly in Italy, where the quest for security prompted calls for political unity. This response, while aimed at ensuring peace, paradoxically undermined the collective desire for a harmonious international order, revealing the complex dynamics of the era.
