Focusing on diplomatic practices is a common way to try to define #diplomacy – not only #earlymodern, but also modern diplomacy. This allows to understand #emdiplomacy not from preconceived ideas of what diplomacy ought to look like and thus maybe overlooking important aspects, but what diplomatic actors actually did.
So, we argue in our introduction: “understanding earlymodern diplomacy as a political and social practice helps to open up the varieties of what diplomatic actions could comprise – from negotiations to reporting and information-gathering to gift-giving, dancing and dining.”

In the next weeks you can look forward to the articles dealing with the diversity of #earlymodern diplomatic practices. (2/2)

The G7 leaders gather this week in Kananaskis, Alberta. Despite petitions and widespread opposition, both the U.S. and Indian leaders will attend.

As the U.S. military turns on its own citizens, and Israel—once a target of genocide—now commits its own, flouting international law and seizing ships on the open seas...

“Diplomacy” will be paraded at the G7, far from the voices of the people.

Om man är intresserad av politik och diplomati, men kanske framförallt AI:s roll i det hela, kika in på every.to/diplomacy Det är ett projekt där de låter alla större språkmodeller spela Diplomacy mot varandra för att försöka komma överens samtidigt som de försöker vinna så mycket makt som möjligt. Otroligt intressant projekt och förhoppningsvis kan vi läsa ut en massa data från detta.

“The true battleground is no longer just physical, but temporal and symbolic, and in this evolving conflict, Washington may be the most exposed”

If one lesson emerges from this moment, it is this: The battlefield now lies as much in the timing of decisions as in the geography of targets. (Al Mayadeen English; Illustrated by Zeinab El-Hajj)
