This is one of those apologies which people used to enjoy writing in the seventeenth century. Although the author is anonymous, the tone and title of the pamphlet point to the Duc de Luynes himself as the author.

It shows a government under control and working for the good of all Frenchmen. ; Electronic reproduction ; 16 p. ; 17 cm.

Henry IV spent the winter of 1597-98 preparing to recover Brittany. Under Guise leadership, Philippe-Emmanuel de Lorraine, duc de Mercoeur, had controlled the province of Brittany since 1582. He established a court in Nantes and in 1590 invited Spain to establish themselves in Blavet. When Henry and his troops appeared in February 1598 Mercoeur agreed to recognize his authority. This pamphlet, written before this happened, and, of course, before the Peace of Vervins with Spain, anonymously laments that Brittany could possibly not be under the influence of the rightful King of France, Henry IV. ; Electronic reproduction ; 15 p. ; 17 cm.

Authored by a young Richelieu, Louis XIII seemingly declares that he is disturbed by the unrest that has again arisen. He defends his actions and portrays himself as a man of peace. He condemns the Ducs de Nevers, de Vendome, de Mayenne, and de Bouillon. They had evidently sent letters to the King on the seventh and the fourteenth of February. According to the King they deserved no response. "Faict à Paris le xviii. Feurier 1617." ; Electronic reproduction ; 36 p. ; 16 cm.

The author relates that even since the Peace of Loudun, France had recognized that certain Princes, namely the Ducs de Vendome, de Nevers, de Mayenne, and de Bouillon, would present problems to the King.

This is a plea for unity sent to Charles, Duc de Mayenne, 1554-1611, brother of the late Henri, Duc de Guise and his brother, the Cardinal de Guise, both of whom had been assassinated at the order of Henry III. The King had been deposed and Mayenne and his army placed at the head of a provisional government. The author seeks peace, aware of Mayenne's instability. "Fait à Paris ce 23 iour de Iuin, 1589."

By the beginning of 1614 a combination of minor grievances arising from court squabbles, together with a general feeling among the great nobles that they were not having enough say in the government, led the Prince de Condé and a number of other nobles to leave the court and raise troops in their local strongholds. They received little popular support and by the summer a settlement had been reached. In this pamphlet, the Queen replies to Condé's letter in which she expresses her pleasure at the Prince's resolutions to preserve the peace and reform the disorders of the realm. All complaints should be brought before the Estates General which the Queen agreed to summon. ; Electronic reproduction ; 7 p. ; 16 cm.

This PhD thesis seeks to contribute towards closing a research gap in the knowledge about the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) as an African Union (AU) and United Nations (UN) authorised peace enforcement operation. In so doing, the study covers the period 2007-2017 and attempts to fulfil three broad objectives. Firstly, it examines the implementation of AMISOM mandate amidst foreign interventions and their underlying implications for the strategic AU-UN partnership. Secondly, the thesis attempts to examine any significant changes towards the implementation of the mandate by assessing the evolution of AMISOM's decade-long presence in Somalia. The analysis focuses on whether AMISOM has morphed into an exercise in self-interest or still pursuing the shared strategic objectives for which it was established. Thirdly, the study confronts the theoretical idea imposed by Western ideologies to export liberal democracy through peacekeeping operations, especially as it relates to regional peace operations. In a sense, it contrasts between liberalism and realism vis-à-vis peacekeeping operations in order to account for the case of AMISOM given the involvement of frontline states whose realist strategy in Somalia has presented a major dilemma. Given the latitude, the study adopts an interdisciplinary and mixed methodology approach in its analysis of foreign interventions and the pursuit of illicit commercial interests in a conflict economy milieu marked by attempts to counter al-Shabaab in Somalia. As a qualitative research, the study relies on primary and secondary data sources including relevant articles and journals, although aspects of quantitative method have also been used where appropriate. ; Esta tese de doutoramento visa contribuir para o preenchimento de uma lacuna de pesquisa no conhecimento sobre a Missão da União Africana na Somália (AMISOM), como uma operação de imposição da paz autorizada pela União Africana (UA) e endossada pelas Nações Unidas (ONU). O âmbito do estudo abrange o período 2007- 2017 e ambiciona cumprir três objetivos principais. Em primeiro lugar, examina a implementação do mandato da AMISOM no meio de intervenções estrangeiras e as suas implicações subjacentes para a parceria estratégica UA-ONU. Em segundo lugar, a tese tenta examinar quaisquer mudanças significativas em relação à implementação do mandato, avaliando a evolução da AMISOM após uma década de presença na Somália. A análise concentra-se em determinar se a AMISOM se transformou num exercício em interesse próprio ou se ainda persegue os objetivos estratégicos comuns para os quais foi estabelecida. Em terceiro lugar, o estudo confronta a ideia teórica imposta pelas ideologias ocidentais para exportar a democracia liberal por meio de operações de manutenção da paz, especialmente no que se refere as operações de paz regionais. Em certo sentido, contrasta entre liberalismo e realismo face às operações de manutenção da paz com vista a contextualizar o caso da AMISOM, dado o envolvimento dos Estados da linha da frente, cuja estratégia realista na Somália apresentou um grande dilema. Dada a latitude, o estudo adopta uma abordagem metodológica interdisciplinar e mista, na análise de intervenções estrangeiras e a prossecução de interesses comerciais ilícitos, num ambiente de economia de guerra marcado por tentativas de conter o "al-Shabaab" na Somália. Tratando-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, o estudo baseia-se principalmente em fontes primárias e secundárias, incluindo artigos e periódicos relevantes, embora alguns aspectos do método quantitativo tenham sido também aplicados.
