| Summary/Abstract |
The article studies the diplomatic practice of building sustainable peaceful
relations in Europe. The authors conduct a comparative analysis of projects
intended to create pan-European forms of power, which at different times were proposed by European monarchs to ensure peaceful relations between
countries: Treaty on the Establishment of Peace throughout Christendom
by Bohemian King George of Poděbrady, the Grand Design by Henry IV,
and the Holy Alliance by Alexander I. Although similar to the European
monarchs’ initiatives in content and form, the Russian initiative implied
freer and more distributed institutional ties and rejected the idea of an
authorized pan-European body in favor of a broad association of European
monarchies. The concept of joint action, including non-expansionist
military intervention to preserve the natural process of social development
in Europe, was an important part of the Russian project. Anglo-Austro-
Russian team diplomacy, with the active peacemaking role of the Russian
emperor, succeeded in creating the first working pan-European order, and
the proposed institutions and principles ensured governable and peaceful
relations in Europe for almost a hundred years within the framework of the
Vienna system of international relations. Thus, instead of the unrealizable
idea of “perpetual peace,” the Austro-Russian tandem implemented the idea
of “perpetual struggle for peace,” but on diplomatic battlefields

| Summary/Abstract |
With tl1e failed attempt to institute Liberalism in the aftermath of WWI it seemed the idealistic vision of perpetual peace, increased prosperity, and collective security was merely an unrealistic hope. However, the successful progression of the European Union from the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Economic Community began a new era of interstate relations. But, the repeated refusal of states to ratify the European constitution is a sign that European economic and policy integration is not enough to give Europeans a sense of shared values and principles and a sense of common heritage. The dissatisfaction over Europe's recent ?nancial woes--that were described as threatening a break-up of EU-has indicated that European Liberalism is faltering again. This article analyzes the issue from the perspective of peace research, global political economy, social psychology, and intercultural relations.
