history of diplomacy

 
     
  The historical study of the methods of diplomacy (sense 1), or the study of diplomatic methods in different periods and in different civilizations in the same period. Thus quite distinct in focus from diplomatic history, the history of diplomacy embraces the study of diplomatic systems. These include those in the ancient world (notably Greece, the Near East and Asia), medieval Europe, renaissance Italy (the birth of the resident embassy), Europe together with the Ottoman Empire (during which long period according to Harold Nicolson the Italian method was greatly improved, chiefly by the French), and in the world as a whole following the First World War (when open diplomacy made its first major appearance). See also Amarna letters; Byzantine diplomacy; Kautilya; Ottoman diplomacy; Venetian diplomacy.
