Over the #earlymodern period different practices to manage conflicts and guarantee peace agreements were established that Laufs and Wenzel will introduce to us. Thus, illustrating the ingenuity but also the limits of #emdiplomacy. (6/6)

Together Laufs and Wenzel tackle the important question of conflict management. How did #emdiplomats deal with conflicts? What practices were established?
Key to #earlymodern conflict management were mediation and arbitration as practices with a long tradition going back to the Middle Ages. Here, a third party tried to mediate and help find a compromise between the conflicting parties. (4/6)

Christian Wenzel works the universities of Marburg and Duisburg-Essen. He works on #peace treaties and breaches of agreements and ideas of security.
His PhD thesis on security in the debates of the French wars of religion was recently published and is also available #openaccess! (3/6)
Today we want to introduce to you one of our #emdiplomacy dream teams: Markus Laufs and Christian Wenzel!
Markus Laufs currently works at the Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin, where he’s part of the team that reconceptualise the permanent exhibition and is responsible for the late Middle Ages and the early modern periond. His PhDthesis on practices of mediation at #earlymodern #peacecongresses is available as #openaccess (2/6)
