The new year brings great news: đź“Ż
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.

Early Modern European Diplomacy
New Diplomatic History has turned into one of the most dynamic and innovative areas of research – especially with regard to early modern history. It has shown that diplomacy was not as homogenous as previously thought.De Gruyter
Swiss #emdiplomacy differed in many ways from #emdiplomacy by European #monarchies. For one, the Swiss Cantons didn’t develop a centralized foreign office and didn’t sent permanent #emdiplomats to foreign courts. Instead, they relied heavily on informal diplomatic actors, such as military officers, merchants and clergymen.
This was much cheaper and helped them avoid ceremonial conflicts that they usually could not win against the great European powers. (3/5)

From the #HRE we turn to another quite special actor: #earlymodern #Switzerland. We are very happy to have found none other than Sarah Rindlisbacher Thomi from the university of Bern as an author.
Rindlisbacher wrote her PhD on “Ambassadors of Protestantism. Foreign policy activities of Zurich's town clergy in the 17th century” (in German). So who could be better suited to tell us about the characteristics of Swiss #emdiplomacy?! (2/5)

As Swiss #diplomacy worked a bit differently, it helps us realize the variety of #emdiplomacy. (5/5)
