About Satow's Diplomatic Practice
Product Description First published in 1917, Satow's Diplomatic Practice has long been hailed as a classic and authoritative text. An indispensable guide for anyone working in or studying the field of diplomacy, this seventh, centenary edition builds on the extensive revision in the sixth edition. The volume provides an enlarged and updated section on the history of diplomacy, including the exponential growth in multilateral diplomacy, and revises comprehensively the practice of diplomacy and the corpus of diplomatic and international law since the end of the Cold War. It traces the substantial expansion in numbers both of sovereign states and international and regional organisations and features detailed chapters on diplomatic privileges and immunities, diplomatic missions, and consular matters, treaty-making and conferences. The volume also examines alternative forms of diplomacy, from the work of NGOs to the use of secret envoys, as well as a study of the interaction with intelligence agencies and commercial security firms. It also discusses the impact of international terrorism and other violent non-state actors on the life and work of a diplomat. Finally, in recognition of the speed of changes in the field over the last ten years, this seventh edition examines the developments and challenges of modern diplomacy through new chapters on human rights and public/digital diplomacy by experts in their respective fields. Review "There is a huge amount of information in this work, invariably engaging, on topics that seem eminently relevant to both young diplomats and lawyers. While there are many excellent books that guide lawyers and international affairs specialists through their respective disciplines, this is the only one the reviewer is aware of that does such a great job of integrating law and diplomacy around particular themes. This latest edition should, therefore, be a much needed source of guidance for those engaged at the early stages of diplomacy or international law." -- Wisam Abboud, Edinburgh Law Review "There are some books everyone working or interested in international relations (and law) should own: Satow's Diplomatic Practice definitely belongs on this list. ... Sir Ivor Roberts has managed to compile a classic treatise of international law and thereby continue the great work by his famous predecessor." -- Ralph Janik, Czech Yearbook of Public & Private International Law About the Author Ivor Roberts, Former British Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the Republic of Ireland, and Italy Sir Ivor Roberts entered the Diplomatic Service in 1968.
