With Ákos Kopper from ELTE University, we have a short reflection out in Diplomatica on studying diplomacy diplomatically in reaction to a fresh Interdisciplinary Manifesto pushing the boundaries of new diplomatic history. @ndh-network.bsky.social

Compared to later periods, ancient European diplomacy can be an under-studied topic. This makes the IANVA (Environments for dialogue: the spaces of diplomacy in the Roman provincial sphere during the Republic) international research project even more relevant.

Here is a long-anticipated manifesto for New Diplomatic History! Written by young researchers of the network, it aims at questioning and defining the aims, nature, and purpose of the discipline.
If you have ever wondered what NDH could stand for, this is an important read!

One of the last panels of the conference featured Malika Dekkiche, Guido van Meersbergen, and Birgit Tremml-Werner offering valuable insights into early modern Tools of Power in Global Diplomacy, from the Mamluks, to the Mughal Empire, to the Sulu Sultanate.
Three academics sitting at a table, with Malika Dekkiche's Powerpoint behind them.

The second day of #NDH6 has started! This morning, I am attending a panel on "Fictions and Diplomacy", with very promising contributions by Sylvia Tongyan Qiu, Alice Xiang and Luciano Cesar Da Costa! Panels are also on about consuls, water and imperialism, and the legal aspects of diplomacy.
