The Counter-Revolution in Diplomacy and Other Essays - by G Berridge (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

This book brings together for the first time a large collection of essays (including three new ones) of a leading writer on diplomacy. They challenge the fashionable view that the novel features of contemporary diplomacy are its most important, and use new historical research to explore questions not previously treated in the same systematic manner
