In this book on early modern diplomacy, Jan Hennings explores the
relationship between European powers and Russia beyond the
conventional East-West divide from the Peace of Westphalia to the
reign of Peter the Great. He examines how, at a moment of new
departure in both Europe and Russia, the norms shaping diplomatic
practice emerged from the complex relations and direct encounters
within the world of princely courts rather than from incompatible
political cultures. He makes clear the connections between dynastic
representation, politics and foreign relations, and shows that
Russia, despite its perceived isolation and cultural
distinctiveness, participated in the developments and
transformations that were taking place more broadly in diplomacy.
The central themes of this study are the interlocking
manifestations of social hierarchy, monarchical honour and
sovereign status in both text and ritual. Related issues of
diplomatic customs, institutional structures, personnel,
negotiation practice, international law, and the question of
cultural transfer also figure prominently.
