Diplomacy in the Age of Mongol Globalization
*Venue: May 30th-31st , 2016, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem *
The Mongols are famous for their uncompromising diplomacy. “Submit or
Perish” was apparently the main message they initially addressed to others.
These calls for submission were claims made by conquerors and leaders of a
universal empire. In most cases, they coincide with the period of the great
Mongol expansion.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the Mongols developed various
modes of official communication. Far from being static, they changed and
adapted their diplomatic ways to the position they held in the surrounding
world.
One problem in examining the Mongols’ evolving relationships is that, while
the diplomatic aims of the other sides (Papacy, Chinese, Rus’, Mamluks) are
well documented, the diplomatic orientation of the Chinggisids is not. This
conference will contribute to fill the gap. By looking at diplomatic
exchanges both during the United Empire and after its dissolution to four
Chinggisid states, the conference intends to individuate similarities,
innovations and recurring patterns of diplomacy.
We invite our panellists to look at the following aspects:
Ø A new world order and its rituals
Ø Diplomatic personnel
Ø Foreign policies
Ø Gifts and trade
Ø The multi-faceted dimensions of the diplomatic encounter
Ø The concept of a “Chinggisid diplomacy”
Submission of Abstracts
