Recollections of the Old Foreign Office (Classic Reprint)
Author: Edward Hertslet
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780266230496
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Excerpt from Recollections of the Old Foreign Office It has been my endeavour to avoid touching on any events, political or personal, the recording of which might be considered injudicious in the public interests, or in the least degree painful to any indi vidual. I trust that in this, at any rate, I have succeeded. There are no doubt many of my colleagues who could add largely to the anecdotes and records which I have ventured to make public and I hope that they may some day be tempted to do as I have done, or at least that they will not be deterred from doing so by any suspicion that the example which I have set them is a bad one. In the Appendix will be found an account of the early creation of the office of Secretary of State, with the names of those statesmen who filled, at various times, the office of Secretary of State for the Northern and Southern Departments respectively, before the appointment, in 1782, of the first Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The names of those who have filled the office of Foreign Secretary since that date are also given in the Appendix.

Diplomatic Material
Author: Jason Dittmer
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 0822372746
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
In Diplomatic Material Jason Dittmer offers a counterintuitive reading of foreign policy by tracing the ways that complex interactions between people and things shape the decisions and actions of diplomats and policymakers. Bringing new materialism to bear on international relations, Dittmer focuses not on what the state does in the world but on how the world operates within the state through the circulation of humans and nonhuman objects. From examining how paper storage needs impacted the design of the British Foreign Office Building to discussing the 1953 NATO decision to adopt the .30 caliber bullet as the standard rifle ammunition, Dittmer highlights the contingency of human agency within international relations. In Dittmer's model, which eschews stasis, structural forces, and historical trends in favor of dynamism and becoming, the international community is less a coming-together of states than it is a convergence of media, things, people, and practices. In this way, Dittmer locates power in the unfolding of processes on the micro level, thereby reconceptualizing our understandings of diplomacy and international relations.
