Like all professions, diplomacy has spawned its own specialized terminology, and it is this lexicon which provides A Dictionary of Diplomacy's thematic spine. However, the dictionary also includes entries on legal terms, political events, international organizations and major figures who have occupied the diplomatic scene or have written influentially about it over the last half millennium. All students of diplomacy and related subjects and especially junior members of the many diplomatic services of the world will find this book indispensable.

This book begins by discussing the problems of non-recognition and
breaches in diplomatic relations, and then considers the advantages
and disadvantages of the different methods which states, not in
diplomatic relations, employ when they nevertheless need to
communicate. These include intermediaries, disguised embassies,
ceremonial occasions such as working funerals, the diplomatic corps
in third states and at the seat of international organisations,
special envoys, and joint commissions. In short, it is concerned
with the kind of diplomacy which produced the rapprochement between
Israel and the PLO in September 1993.
Describing the fate of South Africa's drive, which began in 1949,
to associate itself with Britain, France, Portugal and Belgium in
an African defence pact, this book describes how South Africa had
to settle for an entente rather than an alliance, and how even this
had been greatly emasculated by 1960. In light of this case, the
book considers the argument that ententes have the advantages of
alliances without their disadvantages and concludes that this is
exaggerated. There is also discussion of the background to the
"fourth" secret Simonstown Agreement. Other books by the author
include "The Politics of the South Africa Run: European Shipping
and Pretoria", "Return to the UN" and "International Politics".
