This is the first book-length study of the role that friendship
plays in diplomacy and international politics. Through an
examination of a vast amount of sources ranging from diplomatic
letters and bilateral treaties, to poems and philosophical
treatises, it analyses how friendship has been talked about and
practised in pre-modern political orders and modern systems of
international relations. The study highlights how instrumental
friendship was for describing and legitimising a range of political
and legal engagements with foreign countries and nations. It
emphasises contractual and political aspects in diplomatic
friendship based on the idea of utility. It is these functions of
the concept that help the world stick together when collective
institutions are either embryonic or no more. -- .
