She argues that “these institutions both co-produced diplomacy and were produced by diplomacy.” Thus, focussing on the sending institutions of <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/emdiplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emdiplomacy</a> deepens our understanding of early modern European political culture and state formation in general.

While in theory the right of legation was linked to sovereign power, there were a lot of actors who did not have full sovereignty according to theory, but who clearly acted diplomatically.

She explains that the actor-centred approach of <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/NDH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NDH</a> has led to the neglect of the institutional side of diplomacy in favor of diplomatic actors. But in order to understand <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/emdiplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emdiplomacy</a> we also must pay attention to the “sending institutions”.

Early Modern DiplomacyAlthough we somehow consider ourselves being experts in the field of <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/NewDiplomaticHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewDiplomaticHistory</a>, we faced great difficulties in finding information on <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/black" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#black</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/emdiplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emdiplomacy</a>. One reason for this is that <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/GlobalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalHistory</a>, however, focuses strongly on the Americas and Asia. Research on Africa and <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/earlyModern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earlyModern</a> African <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/diplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diplomacy</a> is very limited though it has existed since the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/MiddleAges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiddleAges</a> at least. Another reason for the underrepresentation of <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/earlyModern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earlyModern</a> African history in <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/NewDiplomaticHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewDiplomaticHistory</a> is the lack of sources. As many African regions had other traditions than written sources, it is difficult to access African <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/emdiplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emdiplomacy</a>. This is also why existing research heavily focuses on a few exampels and regions when it comes to <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/black" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#black</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/emdiplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emdiplomacy</a>, mostly Ethiopa, Kongo and the North of the continent.

Early Modern Diplomacy<a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/BlackHistoryMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackHistoryMonth</a> ended yesterday.

Moreover, there is a risk that white and European perspectives prevail even in non-European contexts despite all attemps by <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/GlobalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalHistory</a> to questions these approaches. During the last weeks we tried to set European perspectives aside and highlight <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/black" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#black</a> diplomatic actors. In doing so, we encountered a huge challange: the lack of research.
