In any multilateral setting, some state representatives weigh much
more heavily than others. Practitioners often refer to this form of
diplomatic hierarchy as the 'international pecking order'. This
book is a study of international hierarchy in practice, as it
emerges out of the multilateral diplomatic process. Building on the
social theories of Erving Goffman and Pierre Bourdieu, it argues
that diplomacy produces inequality. Delving into the politics and
inner dynamics of NATO and the UN as case studies, Vincent Pouliot
shows that pecking orders are eminently complex social forms:
contingent yet durable; constraining but also full of agency;
operating at different levels, depending on issues; and defined in
significant part locally, in and through the practice of
multilateral diplomacy.
