Confessional Diplomacy in Early Modern Europe examines the role of
religion in early modern European diplomacy. In the period
following the Reformations, Europe became divided: all over the
continent, princes and their peoples split over theological,
liturgical, and spiritual matters. At the same time, diplomacy rose
as a means of communication and policy, and all powers established
long- or short-term embassies and sent envoys to other courts and
capitals. The book addresses three critical areas where questions
of religion or confession played a role: papal diplomacy, priests
and other clerics as diplomatic agents, and religion as a question
for diplomatic debate, especially concerning embassy chapels.

This book challenges existing accounts of the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries in which political developments are explained
in terms of the rise of the nation-state. While monarchies are
often portrayed as old-fashioned - as things of the past - we argue
that modern monarchies have been at the centre of
nation-construction in many parts of the world. Today, roughly a
quarter of states define themselves as monarchies as well as
nation-states - they are Royal Nations. This is a global
phenomenon. This volume interrogates the relationship between
royals and 'their' nations with transnational case studies from
Asia, Africa, Europe as well as South America. The seventeen
contributors discuss concepts and structures, visual and
performative representations, and memory cultures of modern
monarchies in relation to rising nationalist movements. This book
thereby analyses the worldwide significance of the Royal Nation.
