G.R. Berridge, Maurice Keens-Soper and T.G. Otte-Diplomatic Theory From Machiavelli to Kissinger

ნაწყვეტი წიგნიდან:

There is a long tradition in the Department of Politics at the University of Leicester of teaching political theory through the `political classics', and three collections of essays providing guidance to these texts have been published by members of the Department or persons at one time associated with it. It was natural, therefore, when diplomatic theory subsequently began to be taught in the Department as well, that thought should turn to producing a guide to the `diplomatic classics'. These however proved more difficult to identify, and it has been neces- sary, therefore, as a rule, to make the diplomatic oeuvre of selected authors, rather than single texts, the organizing principle of this parti- cular collection.
