Abstract :With the rise of socio-economic, cultural, and environmental history, diplomatic history has long been relegated to a secondary status and viewed as an archaic field that merely reproduces primary documents and records “what one clerk said to another clerk.” Conflating foreign policy with diplomacy with a clear Rankean penchant of Primat der Außenpolitik, such a dry methodology has few to offer to modern readers, now used to interdisciplinary approaches.
