Diplomatic Studies Book Series
General Editor: Jan Melissen
Diplomatic Studies is a peer reviewed book series that encourages original work on diplomacy and its role in international relations. The broad scope of the series reflects the inter-disciplinary and inclusive nature of diplomatic studies, and it is therefore open to contributors from a variety of academic disciplines and backgrounds. Authors will include academics, researchers from think tanks, and people with professional experience in diplomacy.
The series' focus is wide-ranging and it publishes high-quality research on the theory, practice, and techniques of diplomacy. It aims to advance the understanding of the importance of diplomacy to international relations, and engage in debates on diplomatic innovation. The series will deal with bilateral and multilateral diplomacy, but also with a variety of other forms of diplomatic practice, such as public diplomacy, track-two diplomacy, and sub-state diplomacy. It also welcomes studies on age-old functions of the institution of diplomacy, including international negotiation and mediation, as well as less traditional ones that are emerging in the current international environment.
