The Diplomacies of New Small States

the long version

"Characterised by new research, this investigation into the undeveloped field of the sociology of diplomacy offers important new conclusions and suggestions, as well as many new ideas gained from practical diplomatic experience. The book examines the establishment of diplomacies of the new small states that emerged in Europe after the fall of the Iron Curtain. The sociological and organisational application is combined with concepts from the fields of international relations, diplomatic studies, security studies and international public law." "A systematic, stringent approach to the subject matter makes this book a substantial contribution to the field, suited to scholars, diplomats, students, civil servants and journalists alike."--Jacket.
