Erik Damián Reyes Morales, "Diplomacy: from the Ancient World to the Peace of Westphalia", 2023.

​

Abstract: This paper aims to provide elements that enrich the debate on the usefulness of the temporary cut in International Relations established in the Peace of Westphalia. To this end, a historical overview of diplomacy from the ancient world to 1648 is made, which shows that diplomatic tools such as those used to reach the peace treaties of Osnabrück and Münster were developed from antiquity in the four civilizational foci of Eurasia. Then, this knowledge was synthesized in Constantinople and returned to Europe through Venice. The relevance of this work is linked to its inclusion in the debate on the periodicity of the object of study in International Relations and the history of this discipline.
