The history of international relations in the pre -week era. Tutorial. 2nd edition, corrected and supplemented. Fenenko A.V.

The textbook is conceived as the first part of the course “History of International Relations” and is devoted to the history of interstate relations from the origin of the first states in the ancient East to the formation of the system of national states in Europe after the end of the thirty years of war (1618-1648), i.e. In the so -called pre -week era. This period for internationalists remains, paradoxically, Terra Incognita.

Modern political science is fully focused on the history of the Westphalian system with the interaction of national states and world orders characteristic of it as a set of rules and norms that determine the nature of this interaction. This manual is designed to close this gap, the process of developing interstate relations is shown before the formation of national states.
