Frühneuzeitlichen europäischen Herrscherhöfen kam im Kontext politischer Entscheidungsfindungen eine zentrale Bedeutung zu. Bislang standen dabei der Herrscher und die ihn unmittelbar umgebenden Personen im Zentrum. Dagegen rückte eine internationale Tagung zum Thema „A Europe of Courts, a Europe of Factions“, die vom 19. bis. 21. November 2014 am DHI Rom in Kollaboration mit der Università Roma Tre, dem Istituto Storico Austriaco, EEHAR, IULCE-UAM und MSCA stattfand, höfische Faktionen und deren oppositionelle Rolle im Zusammenhang politischer Debatten in den Mittelpunkt. Auf diese Weise konnten die europäischen Beziehungen in komparatistischer und beziehungsgeschichtlicher Perspektive jenseits der Institutionengeschichte betrachtet werden.

Recent political history has paid great attention to non institutional politics and the challenge of the State paradigm for Early Modern Europe. The study of networks and micropolitics has enabled the publication of several works in which royal courts meant the very decision-making centres. According to this personality-centred order around the prince, policy was based on the notions of service, favour and allegiance. Discrepancy and opposition were developed through the building of personal groups which struggled for access to patronage and political influence around the prince.
Only at a European scale arise the problems linked to the research of these groups of power, which are both conceptual and methodological. This conference aims to analyse and compare diverse factional experiences from different European courts (Catholic, Protestant and Muslim) and to contribute to a general debate on how was policy made in Early Modern Europe and how informal groups shaped the birth and development of diplomacy.
