This review article focuses on how gute Policey helps us understand the organisation of early modern communities - and their governments. The practice of gute Policey - or good order of the community ...- became visible through legislation (normative texts), while many contemporary academics and lawyers wrote theoretical texts about it.

In 1646, Landgravine Amelie Elisabeth wanted to regain the principality of her late husband, on behalf of her son, the minor Wilhelm VI. A conflict (re)ignited as she took 4000 Malter of Corn without ...the nobility's consent, consequently violating ancient privileges. Subsequently, the nobles assembled to discuss the affair.

Riches focuses on the diplomats as well as on foreign policy, critiquing the virtual absence of the latter within the new diplomatic history as it currently stands. Falaiseau was related by marriage ...to the Swedish Dohna family and found himself in a difficult position when he informed the Elector of Brandenburg of Swedish plans to accept Calvinists, an action that caused him to be attacked by the Swedish crown because these alleged plans were merely drafts that might give false hopes. ...it is an expensive work which is likely to prevent it from being widely (sp)read, which is a pity.
