Theory and Practice of Modern Diplomacy
Origins and Development to 1914
This chapter concerns the development of modern diplomacy from its origins in 15th-century Europe until the 20th century. It not only describes the parallel development of the modern sovereign, but also looks at the application of modern diplomacy to the classic European age of grand strategy and the balance of power from 1648 to World War I.
