Project’s specific targets

Working Lines

  1. To verify the essential role played by republics in the maintenance of the power balance, not only in Europe but also beyond the ocean.
  2. To analyse the differences and similarities between dynastic and republican state models.
  3. Religion will be analysed both as a mechanism of protest against tyranny (for example in the Netherlands) and as a mechanism for increasing international recognition (proclamation of Virgin Mary as Queen of Genoa in 1637).
  4. To study of the mechanisms of economic dependence between republics and dynastic systems. In this sense, the role played by financers and merchants from these republics must be highlighted.
  5. To analyse the scope and limits of the republican model in Europe.
