Alliances and Treaties: Cooperation and Exchange in War and Peace Mike Rapport Central Europe Western Europe Non-European World Military Politics Social Matters, Society Law, Constitution 327 341 355 This article explores how the use of alliances and treaties changed along with the developments in the European international order in the modern era. Fundamentally, European international relations remained based on an "anarchic" system of competing sovereign states. Yet the evolution of concepts of international law from the Renaissance onwards and the impact of cultural, political, and social developments has encouraged a use of treaties and alliances that has moved European politics fitfully towards a "constitutional" solution, while never fully embracing such a model.
