Early Modern Diplomacy<p>According to Lobenwein & Rous, two forms of espionage can be distinguished, espionage in the true sense, which aims to obtain secret information of others, and counter-intelligence, which seeks to ward off such attacks on one's own information security. Around 1650, one can see a turning point towards a greater professionalisation of espionage. </p><p>Interestingly enough, research is presuming a caesura in the development of early modern diplomacy at about the same time, without the two having been discussed together so far.
