This is an examination of how embassies work and cope during
wartime, with a focus on the experiences of the British, American,
and Indian embassies. During wartime, embassies assume different
roles and face various situations. An embassy might represent a
belligerent state while being situated in an enemy, an allied, or a
neutral state. Conversely, it might represent a neutral state,
while having to function in a belligerent state. How does an
embassy's situation affect its priorities? How does it affect its
staff and mission? The work and risks they face may vary greatly,
but embassies play a key role in war, a time when they are required
to give higher priority to military and political intelligence
while facing daily risks of attacks and managing media and
high-ranking visitors. "Embassies in Armed Conflict" examines these
issues and the problems wartime embassies encounter by looking
primarily at the experiences of American, British, and Indian
embassies. Written by a leading expert, the book aims to both
examine the role of wartime embassies and to provide guidance for
those who serve - or wish to serve - in the Foreign Service. The
volumes in the series are relatively short handbooks aimed at
beginning practitioners and advanced university students. The
volumes highlight the ways foreign policy is implemented through
the apparatus of diplomacy, the diplomatic system, and diplomats
and will discuss: specific aspects of diplomacy, such as the
concept of diplomatic relations, the consequences of cutting off
diplomatic relations, diplomatic immunity, etc., and key diplomatic
activities and events, such as an international crisis, or a summit
meeting. Such books will focus on the conduct of diplomacy rather
than its politics. The focus will be on the contemporary practice
of diplomacy, not on foreign policy or the theoretical direction of
diplomacy.
