Zur Tatigkeit und den Aufgaben eines Honorarkonsuls bestehen im deutschsprachigen Raum nur wenige Veroeffentlichungen. Dabei handelt es sich beim Honorarkonsul um ein seit dem Altertum gewachsenes Amt, dem gerade in den heutigen Zeiten der Globalisierung bei gleichzeitig wieder voranschreitender Regionalisierung eine erhebliche Bedeutung zukommt. Auch ist mit zahlreichen Klischees aufzuraumen, die mit Honorarkonsuln assoziiert werden. Honorarkonsuln werden in Deutschland in einem voelker- und gewohnheitsrechtlich erprobten Verfahren bestellt und schliesslich von der Bundesregierung akkreditiert. Nur so wird gewahrleistet, dass sie den Aufgaben, die das Wiener UEbereinkommen uber konsularische Beziehungen (WUEK) wie auch die aktuelle Praxis vorsehen, gerecht werden koennen. Diese im deutschen Sprachraum bislang so einzigartige, allein auf das Honorarkonsularwesen fokussierte Darstellung soll einen UEberblick in die Institution der Honorarkonsuln aus deutscher Sicht geben und dabei insbesondere die rechtlichen Aspekte der Ernennung, Bestellung und des Wirkens aufzeigen. Daruber hinaus wird die Rolle der Honorarkonsuln als nebenberuflicher "Diplomat" und somit Subakteur internationaler Beziehungen im Sinne einer effektiven und zeitgemassen Wirkungsdiplomatie beleuchtet.
