With this pioneering approach to the study of international
history, T. G. Otte reconstructs the underlying principles, elite
perceptions and 'unspoken assumptions' that shaped British foreign
policy between the death of Palmerston and the outbreak of the
First World War. Grounded in a wide range of public and private
archival sources, and drawing on sociological insights, The Foreign
Office Mind presents a comprehensive analysis of the foreign
service as a 'knowledge-based organization', rooted in the social
and educational background of the diplomatic elite and the broader
political, social and cultural fabric of Victorian and Edwardian
Britain. The book charts how the collective mindset of successive
generations of professional diplomats evolved, and reacted to and
shaped changes in international relations during the second half of
the nineteenth century, including the balance of power and arms
races, the origins of appeasement and the causes of the First World
War.
