University of Warwick, onlineWhat does a truly global history of diplomacy look like? How can we research and write diplomatic history in a way that takes full account of the formative contributions of actors and conceptual traditions from around the world?
The AHRC-funded Global Diplomacy Network seeks to put into conversation and integrate local and regional histories of diplomacy. It aims to establish a connected account of global diplomatic history, one that can replace existing Eurocentric narratives with a new spatial and temporal understanding of the global origins of inter-polity exchange. In this first conference, we invite participants to reflect on the methodological possibilities and challenges of writing global diplomatic history.
