Recenzje

'All in all, this book is much more than just a welcome addition to the literature on the study of diplomacy, since it successfully breaks new methodological ground and manages to gracefully combine history with political science research and methods, while also contributing to historical debates on seminal diplomatic incidents.' Alexandros Nafpliotis, Diplomatica
