This collection of essays examines the diplomatic corps as an
institution of international society. Contributors include both
leading scholars from the field of diplomatic studies, serving
diplomats, and scholar-diplomats. The central argument of the
volume is that the diplomatic corps provides one of the few
unambiguous ways by which an international society is constituted
and finds expression. As the chapters show, however, what this
means precisely varies hugely by setting and circumstance.
This book examines the viability of non-provocative defence - the controversial idea that defensive military policies and practices reduce the risk of wars and provide a viable basis for defending a society should war break out. Drawing on case studies from Europe, the 1991 Persian Gulf War, and Asia-Pacific, the author concludes that non-provocative defence concepts remain relevant and that they can help in deterring, conducting, and settling wars.

The process by which lower federal court judges are nominated by
the President and considered by the Senate has, in recent decades,
been of continuing interest to Senators. During recent Senate
debates over judicial nominations, differing perspectives have been
expressed about the relative degree of success of a President's
nominees in gaining Senate confirmation, compared with nominees of
other recent Presidents. This book provides a statistical analysis
of nominations to U.S. circuit and district court judgeships during
the first terms of President Obama and his four most recent
predecessors.
