“Scholars of diplomacy have identified diplomatic practices across the human experience, spanning the globe and going back before recorded history. Even so, the actual term diplomacy did not enter into usage until the last decade of the eighteenth century.”
- Halvard Leira, “A Conceptual History of Diplomacy,” The SAGE Handbook of Diplomacy, 2016
