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)

What is interesting about his career, is that he served both the Emperor and the elector of Mayence at different times. It was his experience in Imperial affairs, which he had acquired not least at the #PeaceCongressOfWestphalia, that made him especially valuable as an #emdiplomat. In fact, at the Reichsdeputationstag he met other diplomats who had also been in Westphalia. The issue of community-building between #emdiplomats, especially between those within the #HRR is another topic that needs more research.

If you want to learn more not only about Cratz von Scharffenstein, but about #emdiplomacy within the #HRR we can recommend the #handbook article by our editor @dorotheegoetze: (3/3)

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.

Before we started with the #handbook, we applied for funding for a research-network. For this the DFG required that one of us need atleast a 3 years-contract, otherwise we could not have applied. Moreover, the number of proposed network members on fix-termed contracts should not be too high – how should this work with the #WissZeitVG in a system with almost no permanent positions? Under the proposed changes it would even get worse. This is true for networks and for other projects as well. (10)

#Introduction #NeuHier
I'm an #earlymodern historian based in Salzburg, interested in #diplomacy, #peacemaking, #religion and #gender. I'm currently writing a book on #emdiplomacy and networks of interests at the #peacecongress of #Westphalia.
I'm co-editor of the @emdiplomacy #handbook.
When I have time to spare, I'm also editing the autobiography of German historian Karl Brandi.
Tooting in German and English.
I'm looking forward to connect with fellow #histodons and everyone else!
