englischThe 16th and 17th centuries, characterised as they were by political, social and religious upheaval, represent a key period for historical security studies. This era was shaped by discourses of threat as well as attempts to find answers to the multiple challenges to public order and security. Such insecurity was doubtlessly accentuated by religious and confessional conflicts, as this comparative study of France and the Holy Roman Empire shows. In fact, the range of contributions in this edited volume on ‘security problems’ demonstrates how much the frames within which the issue of security was raised became more and more diverse over the course of the two centuries. In a time of evident conflict, the notion of ‘security’ was deemed increasingly important, which ultimately made it a leading concept in early modern political culture.

»Den Herausgebern und BeiträgerInnen ist es in der Tat gelungen, neue Perspektiven auch auf gut beforschte Themen zu eröffnen, und so das Potential von Verrechtlichung als Analysekategorie erfolgreich zu erproben.«
Dr. Dorothee Goetze, sehepunkte.de November 2019

»Ein wesentlicher Ertrag des Bandes besteht darin, dass die Beiträge mittels des Schlüsselkonzepts „Sicherheit“ und unterschiedlicher Zugänge wichtige neue Einsichten in etablierte Themen der Frühneuzeitforschung erbringen und von den Fallbeispielen ausgehende Perspektiven für Vergleiche eröffnen.«
Karl Härter, Zeitschrift für Historische Forschung 1/2022, 138
