Parliamentary practices, the comparability of "universal" political concepts, late-eighteenth-century Republicanism, the relationship between press and politics, and the interaction between the Sister Republics and France are all examined from a comparative, transnational perspective UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9789048522415?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9789048522415 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9789048522415/original ER -
