CHAPTER IX: International Orders, Wars, Transnational Movements

    1
. H. M. Scott,
Birth
convincingly situates the beginnings of the European system in the 1760s (pp. 121, 143ff.). His book should be read in comparison with Bois,
De la paix des rois
. On the Seven Years'War as a world war see Füssel,
Der Siebenjährige Krieg
. In a sense, already the Nine Years' War (1688–97) might be called a “world war.”

    2
. The classical distinctions derive from Bull,
Anarchical Society
, pp. 8ff. More complex and historically more specific are the considerations in Buzan and Little,
International Systems
, pp. 90ff. and passim.

    3
. Dülffer,
Regeln
, p. 300.

. Baumgart,

    6
. See the wide panorama in Geyer and Bright,
Global Violence
.

    7
. Schroeder,
Transformation
, and a collection of his essays: Schroeder,
Systems, Stability and Statecraft
. Another key text is Dülffer et al.,
Vermiedene Kriege
, one of the most important works on international relations in the nineteenth century.

    8
. This is done persuasively in F. R. Bridge, “Transformations of the European States-System, 1856–1914,” in: Krüger and Schroeder,
Transformation
, pp. 255–72.

Imperialism at Sea
.
