Die Edition „Diplomatische Dokumente der Schweiz“ hat ein Symposium zum Thema „Diplomacy and Global Governance“ angekündigt:

The international symposium «Diplomacy and Global Governance» aims to discuss the intersections between national and international interests in the process of negotiating international standards and rules. The primary focus of the symposium will be on the way international
organizations and conferences have defined these  standards, the role of governmental and non-governmental players in this process and the way different states have handled these globally defined rules. To approach these questions in an innovative way, a body comprising leading scholars from universities as well as researchers from participating editing projects of diplomatic documents will be convened. With 29 delegations from various countries all over the world and representing the main editing projects of diplomatic documents, participants will build a multifaceted and unique pool of historical and historiographical knowledge.

Das Symposium wird stattfinden am 4. Oktober 2013 im United Nations Office at Geneva, Palais desNations, 8-14 avenue de la Paix, Geneva
