Diplomatie et relations «internationales» au 18e siècle : un renouveau historiographique ?

Since the beginning of the 90s, studies in diplomatic history and international relations in the modern period seem to have multiplied and helped to rekindle interest in a field which had been neglected, in France at least, for the past half-century. Is one justified in referring to a renewal in diplomatic history or to a «new history in international relations for the Enlightenment » ? Has there been a methodological renewal ? This article attempts to give a brief description of the questions dealt with by historians of international relations over the past ten years.Bélissa Marc.
