🔴 🗺️ **Known unknowns in the North. Uncertain maps of the Arctic in early modern times**

“_By zooming in on world maps and North Pole maps from the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries and examining them in a long-term chronological sequence, we can follow lines and lands that appear and disappear and trace the winding paths of mapping processes and practices through the centuries._”

van Netten, djoeke (2025) ‘Known unknowns in the North. Uncertain maps of the Arctic in early modern times’, International Journal of Cartography, pp. 1–20. doi: doi.org/10.1080/23729333.2025..

There is a partial #solareclipse today (UK, Europe, northwest Africa, northeastern North America, Iceland, and Greenland). Did you know that Alice Thornton witnessed a full eclipse in 1652 and later wrote about it?

Félicité picks up on the fascinating example of trading companies: Although no sovereign powers from a European perspective, they acted quite independently in Asia for example and in fact helped the European monarchies establishing diplomatic contacts. She argues that “these institutions both co-produced diplomacy and were produced by diplomacy.” Thus, focussing on the sending institutions of #emdiplomacy deepens our understanding of early modern European political culture and state formation in general. (5/5)

In a first step, Félicité looks into contemporary theory on the right of legation that was closely linked to debates on sovereignty, thereby discussing authors such as Jean Bodin and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz. 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. (3/5)

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)

The new year brings great news: 📯

Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the #emdiplomacy handbook! 🎉

Neither the pitfalls of the overheated academic system nor a pandemic could stop our wonderful authors and us from completing this project. After four years in the making the #earlymodern #diplomacy #handbook was finally published on New Year’s Eve 2023. What a great way to end the project and the old year!

We are over the moon that this book turned out as huge and pink as we wished it to be. A big thank you to our authors, the members of the editorial board as well as our publisher for their cooperation and commitment.
