This workshop discusses legal aspects of global diplomatic history from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century and challenges narratives of diplomacy frequently dominated by Eurocentric perspectives.
Redefining three terms that have informed such narratives, “consuls” as heads of foreign residents, “tariff” as taxation on transportation, and “treaties” as inter-state agreements, our research project “Global History of Inter-State Relations” seeks to identify legal commonalities, rather than segmentation, that shaped inter-state relations around the world during that period.
In this workshop, we invite two researchers from the United States who have worked together with the same research agenda, but using different concepts, namely “protocol”, “jurisdiction”, and “protection”.
The workshop explores the still untapped, legal dimension of global connections through the records of the Dutch East India Company and British India.
