The seminar takes place at Badia Fiesolana from Thursday 16 February to Saturday 18 February 2017. Traditionally much attention has been paid to conflicts, wars and crises, the periods of consolidation that followed occupy less space in historical accounts. This seminar intends to explore in a comparative way how rulers tried to prevent failure by securing the consent of the population and encouraging compliance to the existing order.
