| Resumo: | Traditional historiography suggests that Spanish foreign relations during the last decades of the seventeenth century were characterized by the decline and weakness of the Spanish monarchy after the Treaties of Westphalia and the Pyrenees. This interpretation suggests that Spain ceased to play a leading role in policymaking and strategic planning in European affairs. However, Spanish foreign policy strengthened relations with countries with which Spain had frequentlybeen in conflict since the late sixteenth and much of the seventeenth century, such as England and the United Provinces. Recent studiessuggest that Spanish ambassadors, agents, and residents helped establishthe emerging European balance of power because Spain hadnot lost its negotiating power. Spain maintained significant influencein European and American markets, enabling it to be incorporated intovarious alliances. |
