Practices of Diplomacy in the Early Modern World offers a new intervention in the ongoing reassessment of early modern international relations. The volume addresses three key interlocking themes: who and what could claim diplomatic agency and in what circumstances; the social and cultural contexts in which diplomacy was practised; and the role of material culture in diplomatic exchange. Cumulatively, the essays by virtue of their broad geographical and chronological range further our understanding of the development of diplomatic phenomena in world history and contribute to wider debates about the nature of cross-cultural encounters and the commensurability of different political cultures.
