"The #Handbook of #Survival My Mother Gave Me: Fighting #Authoritarianism Then and Now"
"Community isn't just comfort—it's tactical necessity. Art isn't luxury—it's preservation of truth. Memory isn't nostalgia—it's navigational equipment. Solidarity isn't idealism—it's survival infrastructure. "
"Nature offers us #wisdom these hollow men will never grasp: that true strength lies in nurturing life, not destroying it for profit or spectacle."

Our 2024 #emdiplomacy #AdventCalendar offered some glimpses into different #emdiplomats careers by introducing different diplomatic actors.
The #handbook takes a different approach by offering some generalizations. Our authors Sven Externbrink and Magnus Ferber take a closer look on the career paths of #emdiplomats as well as their social, national and educational backgrounds which suggest that the group of offical diplomatic actors in this age appears to be quite homogeneous. (2/10)

Secondly, luxury good and food played an important part as gifts in #emdiplomacy. Gift-giving was an essential part of symbolic communication that helped establish and maintain relationships, but also express status and hierarchies. Giving and receiving gifts was expected, although there could be a fine line between gift-giving and supposed bribery.
If you want to know more about it, we can recommend the #handbook article by Mark Häberlein (for its introduction on this channel you have to be patient a bit longer).

Of course #emdiplomats and #emdiplomacysSources played an important part in these discussions. Firstly, they often acted as cultural brokers, as they collected and obtained special objects, delicacies and other luxury goods for their rulers. For our #handbook Elisabeth Natour talked about the relationship between art and diplomacy and the role of #emdiplomats as cultural brokers. (2/7)

For the #handbook Félicité asks the fundamental question: Who was allowed to sent out #emdiplomats? She explains that the actor-centred approach of #NDH has led to the neglect of the institutional side of diplomacy in favor of diplomatic actors. But in order to understand #emdiplomacy we also must pay attention to the “sending institutions”. (2/5)

@histodons @earlymodern
After our #BlackHistoryMonth special we resume our introduction of the #handbook articles. We continue with a new section that focusses on the diversity of diplomatic actors, asking who was allowed to sent out diplomats and who acted as formal or informal #emdiplomats.
New Handbook Chapter: »Open Strategy as a New Form of Strategizing«
Together with Julia Hautz and Thomas Ortner (both situated at the neighboring department of Strategic Management and Leadership), I had the honor to contribute to the most recent iteration of the Cambridge Handbook of Strategy as Practice with a chapter on “Open Strategy as a New Form of Strategizing”:
[W]e can observe an increasing trend towards more inclusive and transparent strategizing. From a practice perspective, this trend can be described as a shift in the practices of strategy-making. [We] describe the different practices of inclusiveness and transparency and show how they relate to each other. [We] then identify and review distinctive themes of strategy as practice research on Open Strategy. This includes the role of technologies and materiality in enabling openness, the discursive practices and processes underpinning openness, the temporal dynamics of open processes, the difference between controlled and uncontrolled forms of openness and the dialectic relationship between openness and closure.
Check out the article here – and please contact me to receive a personal copy in case your institution does not provide access to the handbook.

As handbook editors and authors of this account it was and is always important to us to show #emdiplomacy in its diversity. This means different forms of #emdiplomacy in different European countries as well as different diplomatic actors. Therefore, we introduce you to black #emdiplomats last month.
Moreover, for us this also means giving researchers from different countries a voice: either by introducing you to their work or during the editing process by including them in the #handbook. For us this is fundamental and connected, because only by listening to different (academic and historical) voices we can understand the complexity of (historical and current) societies. But again, we can only do this, when we have academic freedom. (4/5)

That's nice. So, I downloaded the guide and it will fit nicely in the collection. 🙂

@histodons @historikerinnen @earlymodern
Bechtold is writing his PhD thesis on English diplomats at Imperial diets in the 16th cent. Braun is professor for modern history in Mulhouse. He published extensively on #emdiplomacy and #peacemaking. He also edited a volume of the French correspondences from the #WestphalianPeaceCongress for the APW. More recently, his attention turned from #earlymodern #peacecongresses to the perpetual Imperial diet.
So, who could be better than these two to write the #handbook article on diets al diplomatic spheres! (3/7)
