'A marvellous window into both the world of Renaissance diplomacy and the origins of thought about the international system.’Christopher Hill, University of CambridgeA remarkable collection of debates on foreign policy from the works of GuicciardiniThis book brings together 11 pairs of opposing speeches on foreign policy written by Florentine statesman and historian Francesco Guicciardini (1483-1540), many of which have never been rendered into English before. As a whole, they constitute a remarkable collection of debates on war, peace, alliance and the like that have continued relevance in contemporary international politics. Incisive and elegant, the debates perform an analytical function that goes well beyond the rhetorical canons of humanist historiography and contains an early formulation of concepts such as the balance of power and the security dilemma.As such, this book highlights the importance of Guicciardini’s work for the evolution of international theory and explains why he, like Machiavelli, should be considered one of the leading figures of Realism applied to modern international politics.Marco Cesa is Professor of International Relations at the University of Bologna.[Please note change to credit line]Cover image: The Peace of Bologna, with Pope Clement VII andEmperor Charles V, 1529.
