Media Reviews
Review of the hardback: '… this is a lucid, thoughtful and thorough survey of British diplomatic practice, which successfully achieves its goal of opening up areas for broader debate.' Nigel J. Ashton, London School of Economics and Political Science
Review of the hardback: 'John Young has a valuable contribution to make in looking more closely at the principles and machinery of diplomacy and how they have changed in the modern world (or not changed, as he shows with apt quotations from Confucius, Shakespeare, Richelieu, and others) … This is a very useful book for anyone seeking a close focus on a period of British diplomacy or trawling for examples from which to draw general conclusions on the practices and principles of diplomacy.' Journal of Cold War Studies
'John W. Young has provided a skilled exploration of the ways in which diplomacy was actually conducted … Mr Young's original, engaging and authoritative study succeeds in the important goal of bringing diplomatic practice more to the foreground of relations between states.' Contemporary Review
