Dieser Band fragt nach ‘konsensualen’ Elementen vormoderner politischer Entscheidungsprozesse und bietet Beispiele unterschiedlicher Erscheinungsformen vom fruhkaiserzeitlichen China bis zum spatmittelalterlichen Frankreich. Wer nimmt an der Entscheidungsfindung teil, wann und woruber wird entschieden und wer trifft die eigentliche Entscheidung? Nicht zuletzt wird nach den Idealvorstellungen politischer Entscheidungsprozesse gefragt, an denen sich der oberste Herrschaftstrager ebenso wie seine Eliten orientierten und auf die auch die uberlieferten Quellen referieren, wenn sie die Akteure und ihr Handeln darstellen.


No ruler rules alone, but only in association with others. However, according to modern ideas pre-modern realms still seem to be characterized by the formally unlimited power of their rulers with respect to decision-making processes. Therefore, the volume explores ‘consensual’ elements of pre-modern political decision-making processes and offers examples of different manifestations from early imperial China to late medieval France. Who is involved in decision-making, and who makes the actual decision? Finally, the chapters explore ideal concepts of political decision-making processes which served as guidelines to rulers and their elites and to which the sources refer when presenting the actors and their actions.
