My thesis covers the place of the Emirate of Granada in the European system of the international relations in the first half of the 15th century. I chose this period of time because, on the one hand, it was characterized by the relative stability – there were no large-scale wars against the Emirate however, on the other hand, it was the epoch of the extreme aggravation of the international situation around that last Muslim state in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, the age of a bitter struggle – manifest or secret – between a number of European countries for predominance in that key point. As regards the Emirate itself, it's rulers having no possibility to oppose on its own to the pressure of the Reconquista (although in that time it was depressed, unlike that of the 13th or 14th centuries) exploited that extraordinary situation of the balance of powers, and followed a quite reasonable policy conceding privileges sometimes to the one side sometimes to the other playing off them against each other.
