SUMMARY:Mapping the Politics of Diplomacy in Southeast Asia, 1600-1950
LOCATION:Sala de Juntas
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade, the history of diplomacy has gradually sh
 ed its Eurocentric orientations. The emergence of the Westphalian system, t
 he rise of the modern nation-state, and the diffusion of European legal tho
 ught, including ideas of sovereignty and territorial boundaries, were long 
 regarded as the foundations of the modern international order and its diplo
 matic practices. More recently, however, these assumptions have come under 
 renewed scrutiny, as scholars have shown how such concepts emerged through 
 encounters between distinct political traditions and were repeatedly reinte
 rpreted and adapted across the globe. Yet, studies that systematically inte
 grate such alternative diplomatic traditions into the context of extra-Euro
 pean regional, or broader global diplomatic histories, remain limited.\nThi
 s panel turns to Southeast Asia to explore inter-polity relations and modes
  of negotiation from the late sixteenth to the nineteenth century, bringing
  early modern and modern foreign relations into dialogue. Through case stud
 ies ranging from the Moluccas and Java to Thailand and beyond, the papers e
 xamine diverse diplomatic actors, idioms, and practices, including gift exc
 hange, embassies, tribute payment and treaty-making, in search of compariso
 ns and connections. Together, they aim (1) to enrich and complicate prevail
 ing frameworks for understanding diplomatic agency in Southeast Asia, and (
 2) to question and juxtapose the norms and mechanisms of foreign relations 
 in the region.
