This volume focuses on the question of how and why consuls, missionaries, and spies not formally tied to the state or a prince could play a role in premodern diplomatic relations. It highlights their multiple loyalties, their volatility, and the porous boundaries of diplomatic activity. Historical research on non-state actors - in the context of the so-called new diplomatic history - is all the more urgent as it demonstrates their undeniably significant contributions to the formation of Europe's international relations. Contributors are: Maurits Ebben, Dante Fedele, Alan Marshall, Jacques Paviot, Felicia RosÅu, Jean-Baptiste Santamaria, Louis Sicking, and John Watkins"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Diplomacy $x History. 650 0 $a Diplomats $x History. 650 0 $a Consuls $x History. 650 0 $a Missionaries $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Spies $x History. 650 7 $a Consuls $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00876196 650 7 $a Diplomacy $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894188 650 7 $a Diplomats $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894415 650 7 $a Missionaries $x Political activity $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023739 650 7 $a Spies $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01129772 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Ebben, Maurits Alexander, $d 1955- $e editor. 700 1 $a Sicking, Louis, $d 1966- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Beyond ambassadors $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2020. $z 9789004438989 $w (DLC) 2020028140 830 0 $a Rulers & elites ; $v v. 19. $x 2211-4610 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526020243.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=697C2E3AE9E911EBBBC9467A3DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
