Title: The Development of the Executive and Foreign Policy, 1714–1760
Abstract: Constitutional history in the first half of the eighteenth century might seem initially to be rather unpromising ground for innovation of any sort, let alone revision via Prussian theoretical intervention. Yet, as this chapter seeks to demonstrate, rethinking what was happening to British political institutions in the early eighteenth century and, more importantly, why it was so doing shows the extent to which foreign political concerns and contexts provided the impetus for significant changes and developments in the way in which Britain was governed.KeywordsForeign PolicyEighteenth CenturyUnited ProvincePrivy CouncilBritish HistoryThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
