Book Description
Excerpt from Beauties of Diplomacy: Speech of Hon. Samuel S. Cox, of New York, in the House of Representatives, February 9, 1876 The House, as in Committee of the Whole, having under consideration the bill (H. R. No. 1594) making appropriations for the consular and diplomatic service of the Government for the year ending June 30, 1877, and for other purposes - Mr. Cox said: Mr. Chairman: I think the House and the country should be congratulated upon the unanimity with which this bill comes from the Committee on Appropriations. If I understood correctly the honorable gentleman from Mississippi, Mr. Singleton.] who reported it, there was no dissent in the committee as to its provisions. If I am wrong in that statement, I can be corrected. This is a bill for retrenchment. It is one of many; for many of similar import are to come. It proposes a reduction of some $436,000 upon the appropriations of last year for foreign purposes. It was said by the gentleman from Ohio Mr. Garfield] the other day that our a average expenses for diplomatic and consular service for many years had been about $1,300,000. In 1859 these expenses had grown to $912,000; and the average since that time has been about $1,200,000. To be more exact, let me quote the exact figures: Our diplomatic and consular expenses for the year ending June 30, 1859, were only $912,120; for the year ending ending June 30, 1860, they were $1,047,745; for the year ending June 30, 1861, they were $1,158,330; for the year ending June 30, 1862, they were $1,260,544.34; for the year ending June 30, 1863, they were $1,235,889.89; for the year ending June 30, 1864, they were $1,260,544.34; for the year ending June 30, 1865, they were $l,354,100; for the year ending June 30, 1870, they were $1,110,734; for the year ending June 30, 1871, they were $1,041,347. Last year they were about $1,400,000. I do not count the extraordinary sum, $1,929,817, that was embraced in the bill to pay the British mixed commission awards. This year we propose a reduction of at least $436,000. It should be and it is done intelligently. I deprecate the remark made yesterday by my honorable colleague Mr. Wood that this reduction is without wise consideration. Sir, it has had careful examination. Why, Mr. Chairman, in my experience in this House for over sixteen years, I have never known an appropriation bill to be presented with more prudence and heed. We are acting upon authentic information given in advance. This is apparent from the speech as well as the report presented by the honorable gentleman from Mississippi, Mr. Singleton.] He gave us a report to accompany his bill, upon which he spoke wisely and well. He even gave us a map of South America to illustrate the proximity of those Spanish American states affected by the provisions of the bill. In addition to that, we have had the studious examination of the Appropriation Committee to show most amply the relations, commercial and otherwise, we bear abroad, and especially to the South American states.

Book Description
What can the international community do when countries would rather ignore a thorny problem? Scorecard Diplomacy shows that, despite lacking traditional force, public grades are potent symbols that can evoke countries' concerns about their reputations and motivate them to address the problem. The book develops an unconventional but careful argument about the growing phenomenon of such ratings and rankings. It supports this by examining the United States' foreign policy on human trafficking using a global survey of NGOs, case studies, thousands of diplomatic cables, media stories, 90 interviews worldwide, and other documents. All of this is gathered together in a format that walks the reader through the mechanisms of scorecard diplomacy, including an assessment of the outcomes. Scorecard Diplomacy speaks both to those keen to understand the pros and cons of US policy on human trafficking and to those interested in the central question of influence in international relations. The book's companion website can be found at www.scorecarddiplomacy.org.

Book Description
What do diplomats actually do? That is what this text seeks to answer by describing the various stages of a typical diplomat’s career. The book follows a fictional diplomat from his application to join the national diplomatic service through different postings at home and overseas, culminating with his appointment as ambassador and retirement. Each chapter contains case studies, based on the author’s thirty year experience as a diplomat, Ambassador, and High Commissioner. These illustrate such key issues as the role of the diplomat during emergency crises or working as part of a national delegation to a permanent conference as the United Nations. Rigorously academic in its coverage yet extremely lively and engaging, this unique work will serve as a primer to any students and junior diplomats wishing to grasp what the practice of diplomacy is actually like.

Book Description
The book series "Diplomatica" of the Don Juan Archiv Wien researches cultural aspects of diplomacy and diplomatic history up to the nineteenth century. This second volume of the series features the proceedings of the Don Juan Archiv's symposium organized in March 2016 in cooperation with the University of Vienna and Stvdivm fÆsvlancm to discuss the topic of gender from a diplomatic-historical perspective, addressing questions of where women and men were positioned in the diplomacy of the early modern world. Gender might not always be the first topic that comes to mind when discussing international relations, but it has a considerable bearing on diplomatic issues. Scholars have not left this field of research unexplored, with a widening corpus of texts discussing modern diplomacy and gender. Women appear regularly in diplomatic contexts. As for the early modern world, ambassadorial positions were monopolized by men, yet women could and did perform diplomatic roles, both officially and unofficially. This is where the main focus of this volume lies. It features sixteen contributions in the following four "acts": Women as Diplomatic Actors, The Diplomacy of Queens, The Birth of the Ambassadress, and Stages for Male Diplomacy. Contributions are by Wolfram Aichinger | Roberta Anderson | Annalisa Biagianti | Osman Nihat Bişgin | John Condren | Camille Desenclos | Ekaterina Domnina | David García Cueto | María Concepción Gutiérrez Redondo | Armando Fabio Ivaldi | Rocío Martínez López | Laura Mesotten | Laura Oliván Santaliestra | Tracey A.

Book Description
An original, compellingly told story of women's fight to represent their country abroad in the face of opposition from the men of the Foreign Office 'A fascinating account of the manoeuvres of the leaders of the Foreign Office to prevent the admission of women to its diplomatic and consular services' Spectator 'The women are striking, the trajectories of their often brief careers compelling' Observer Throughout the twentieth century and long before, hundreds of determined British women defied the social conventions of their day in order to seek adventure and influence on the world stage. Some became travellers and explorers; others business-owners or buyers; others still devoted their lives to worthy international causes, from anti-slavery and women's suffrage to the League of Nations and world peace. Yet until 1946, no British woman could officially represent her nation abroad. It was only after decades of campaigning and the heroic labours performed by women during the Second World War that diplomatic careers were finally opened to both sexes. Women of the World tells this story of personal and professional struggle against the dramatic backdrop of war, super-power rivalry and global transformation over the last century and a half. From London to Washington, Geneva to Tehran, and in the deserts of Arabia, the souks of Damascus and the hospitals of Sarajevo, resolute women undaunted by intransigent officials and hostile foreign governments proved their worth. Moved by a longing to escape domestic redundancy, to follow in the footsteps of fathers or brothers, to build a more peaceful world, to discover cultures other than their own or simply to serve the nation which denied them full equality, these women were extraordinary individuals fighting prejudice in high places. Drawing on letters, memoirs, personal interviews and government records, these heroines caught up in the larger endeavours of the world's greatest empire are brought vividly to life to enrich our understanding of Britain's global history in modern times.
