Document Summary
Put an end to the thirty year"s war. Established the foundations of the modern international state system. Formal equality of state: in the realm of relations among states, all states have equal functions and rights. If necessary differences among states were dealt with by force. 1. law making, law enforcement, dispute settlement in the hands of individual states: goal is coexistence, cross-border con ict concerns those only immediately involved. 4. the collective priority is maintaining state sovereignty. Nations: collectives which shares a sense of identity base of real, constructed or imagined cultural, linguistic, religious commonalities. A political apparatus, distinct from both ruler and ruled, with supreme jurisdiction over a demarcated territory, and which claims the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force . Bonds that create a nations state: people belong to. Same language? this actually isn"t true always. You identify with you immediate community (place and religion), not with the empire. The empire does not enforce a culture/language/ethnicity.
