#emdiplomacy was a multilingual affair. An #emdiplomat who could speak several languages had a clear advantage - not the least because he could thereby show equal respect to different parties, as this example by @dbellingradt shows. (1/2)
Alexander Koller is deputy director at the DHI Rome and we couldn’t have found anyone more suitable to write the article on papal #diplomacy for the #handbook. He has published extensively on Italian and German relations in the 16th and 17th c. His special interest being the papacy. He even edited two volumes of the reports of the nuncios.
After our special on female #emdiplomacy scholars for #WomensHistoryMonth and a little break we continue our introduction of the #handbook authors and their articles with the third section that focusses on the development of #earlymodern#diplomacy in different European countries.
For the #handbook, Natour tackles an even wider topic: the relation between #art and #diplomacy. She stresses the close but complicated relationship between (visual) art and #emdiplomacy. Diplomacy needed visualisation and art was one medium of communicating hierarchy, power and political messages. (3/7)
When discussing #earlymodern European diplomacy, it is important to widen the perspective and look beyond Europe. This helps to understand #emdiplomacy in its diversity and counteract the classical #eurocentrism. For the @emdiplomacy#handbook Birgit Tremml-Werner has taken up the global perspective.
#NewDiplomaticHistory is currently a very lively field of research, especially with regard to #emdiplomacy. If you want to know more about how it developed, have a look into the @emdiplomacy#handbook and the overview Julia Gebke is giving on its development.
Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the #emdiplomacy handbook! 🎉
Neither the pitfalls of the overheated academic system nor a pandemic could stop our wonderful authors and us from completing this project. After four years in the making the #earlymodern#diplomacy#handbook was finally published on New Year’s Eve 2023. What a great way to end the project and the old year!
We are over the moon that this book turned out as huge and pink as we wished it to be. A big thank you to our authors, the members of the editorial board as well as our publisher for their cooperation and commitment.
I love this #emdiplomacy meme by @emdiplomacy . It would have made a great cover for the upcoming #handbook! But our reasons for staying pictureless are even better. You want to know more? You just have to wait only a few more weeks until #handbook publication day!
As the far right is attacking decolonization, e.g. Rufo and Musk, here's a free resource: Whose Land Is It Anyway? A Manual for Decolonization.
"We are pleased to announce the publication of Whose Land Is It Anyway? A Manual for Decolonization; inspired by a 2016 speaking tour by Arthur Manuel, less than a year before his untimely passing in January 2017. The book contains two essays from Manuel, described as the Nelson Mandela of Canada, and essays from renowned Indigenous writers Taiaiake Alfred, Glen Coulthard, Russell Diabo, Beverly Jacobs, Melina Laboucan-Massimo, Kanahus Manuel, Jeffrey McNeil-Seymour, Pamela Palmater, Shiri Pasternak, Nicole Schabus, Senator Murray Sinclair, and Sharon Venne. FPSE is honoured to support this publication.
The #emdiplomacy#handbook index is back with our publisher. Although making an #index can be revealing (who is mentioned most? Which concepts are most prominent? Were all #earlymodern popes mentioned?), it is definitely not my favoured part of the #LifesOfTheEditors .
The European Network of Research Integrity Offices (ENRIO) Handbook on Whistleblower Protection in Research is now available to download: https://zenodo.org/record/8192478
The handbook aims to guide research performing institutions on how to implement a whistleblowing management system, including reporting alleged misconduct and potential issues that might arise during and after an investigation.
Talking about the #PeaceOfWestphalia most people think of the treaties signed by French, Swedish & Imperial envoys on 24 October 1648. However, a third treaty between Spain & the Seven United Provinces of the Netherlands was agreed upon on 30 January 1648 & ratified #otd 15 May 1648.
The most popular paintings depicting #Westphalia do actually not show the October-event. Gerard ter Boch painted the act of ratification of the Spanish-Dutch treaty on 15 May 1648. @histodons@historikerinnen
