In international relations (IR), some states often deny the legal
status of others, stigmatising their practices or even their
culture. Such acts of deliberate humiliation at the diplomatic
level are common occurrences in modern diplomacy. In the period
following the breakup of the famous 'Concert of Europe', many kinds
of club-based diplomacy have been tried, all falling short of
anything like inclusive multilateralism. Examples of this effort
include the G7, G8, G20 and even the P5. Such 'contact groups' are
put forward as if they were actual ruling institutions, endowed
with the power to exclude and marginalise. Today, the effect of
such acts of humiliation is to reveal the international system's
limits and its lack of diplomatic effectiveness. The use of
humiliation as a regular diplomatic action steadily erodes the
power of the international system. These actions appear to be the
result of a botched mixture of a colonial past, a failed
decolonisation, a mistaken vision of globalisation and a very
dangerous post-bipolar reconstruction. Although this book primarily
takes a social psychology approach to IR, it also mobilizes the
resources of the French sociological tradition, mainly inspired by
Emile Durkheim. It is translated from Le temps des humilies.
Pathologie des relations internationales (Paris, Odile Jacob,
2014).
