About this ebook
This incisive political study challenges traditional accounts of European diplomacy by exposing the economic and class interests that shaped international relations. Rejecting the notion of diplomacy as a neutral or moral enterprise, the author presents it as an extension of power rooted in material advantage. Treaties, alliances, and conflicts are examined not as expressions of national ideals but as outcomes of underlying economic competition. Written as a critical intervention rather than conventional history, the work dismantles official narratives and invites readers to reconsider how political decisions are made. Its analysis anticipates later critiques of imperialism and global power structures. Sharp, uncompromising, and intellectually rigorous, the book remains a significant contribution to political theory and historical materialism. It offers a framework for understanding diplomacy that continues to inform critical discussions of international politics.
