This volume is a survey of the changing role the confessional element played in that country´s foreign policy. Though its rulers consistently supported the Protestant cause during the Thirty Years´ War, this East Central European principality has traditionally been understood as a counterexample to the confessionalisation thesis. Here, the evolution of the foreign policy of Princes György Rákóczi I and György Rákóczi II is presented alongside the argumentation they used to justify their political action before and after the Peace of Westphalia. This dual focus makes it possible to identify the changes in the function of confessional cooperation in the princes´ policies, as it lost its primary position and was transformed from an end in itself into a complementary means of justification. Kármán charts Transylvania´s foreign policy by examining its princes´ interactions with three main sets of contacts: leaders in the Kingdom of Hungary, protagonists of the ongoing crisis in Poland-Lithuania, and members of Western European Protestant networks. Based on a large number of published and archival sources, the author offers a novel interpretation of mid-seventeenth-century Transylvanian foreign policy and its intellectual background.mehr

Prolog

Kármán's work 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.mehr
