Studies in Secret Diplomacy by W. W. Gottlieb Pdf

Originally published in 1957, the original blurb reads: ‘From these studies of the secret diplomacy surrounding the entry of Turkey and Italy into the First World War, emerges a picture of the complex machinery behind the obvious wheels of international politics. The activities of statesmen and diplomats are related to the ramifications of big business, banks, oil and armament companies. The story of each move and counter-move, told mostly in the actors’ own words and with many quotations from actual memoranda and dispatches, is based on sources which are quite new. The Russian collections of confidential correspondence, which include foreign diplomatic dispatches intercepted and deciphered in Russia, and the latest Documenti Diplomatici Italiani are practically unknown to the British public. This material has been integrated with that taken from all the available collections of British, French, German, Austro-Hungarian and American diplomatic documents, official publications, contemporary periodicals and economic and financial data, and such mines of information as the diaries, recollections and private letters of those involved. This unusual combination of source material allows some general conclusions to be drawn as to the laws and logic of the diplomacy of power politics. The most striking fact, perhaps, is the diplomatic war among allies. The book brings out the deep-seated conflicts of interests in the German-Austro-Hungarian coalition, and those dividing Britain, France, Russia and Italy in the Near East, the Balkans and the Mediterranean. Another point of special interest is the inter-group and party struggle inside the countries for or against war; and another is the genesis of some of the fateful Secret Treaties which bedevilled the peace settlements of 1919-20.’ Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.

Secret Diplomacy by Corneliu Bjola,Stuart Murray Pdf

This volume investigates secret diplomacy with the aim of understanding its role in shaping foreign policy. Recent events, including covert intelligence gathering operations, accusations of spying, and the leaking of sensitive government documents, have demonstrated that secrecy endures as a crucial, yet overlooked, aspect of international diplomacy. The book brings together different research programmes and views on secret diplomacy and integrates them into a coherent analytical framework, thereby filling an important gap in the literature. The aim is to stimulate, generate and direct the further development of theoretical understandings of secret diplomacy by highlighting ‘gaps’ in existing bodies of knowledge. To this end, the volume is structured around three distinct themes: concepts, contexts and cases. The first section elaborates on the different meanings and manifestations of the concept; the second part examines basic contexts that underpin the practice of secret diplomacy; while the third section presents a series of empirical cases of particular relevance for contemporary diplomatic practice. While the fundamental conditions diplomacy seeks to overcome – alienation, estrangement and separation – are imbued with distrust and secrecy, this volume highlights that, if anything, secret diplomacy is a vital, if misunderstood and unfairly criticised, aspect of diplomacy. This book will be of much interest to students of diplomacy, intelligence studies, foreign policy and IR in general.

Secret Diplomacy: How Far Can It Be Eliminated? by Paul S. Reinsch Pdf

This is a book on modern politics. In this book, the author is trying to find answers to how secret diplomacy can be eliminated and raises the following questions: Is secret diplomacy the evil spirit of modern politics? Is it the force that keeps nations in a state of potential hostility and does not allow a feeling of confidence and wholehearted cooperation to grow up? Or is it only a trade device, a clever method of surrounding with an aura of importance the doings of the diplomats, a race of men of average wisdom and intelligence who traditionally have valued the prestige of dealing with "secret affairs of state"? Or is it something less romantic than either of these—merely the survival from a more barbarous age of instincts of secretiveness and chicane acquired at a time when self-defense was the necessity of every hour?

Spies, Espionage and Secret Diplomacy in the Early Modern Period by Guido Braun,Susanne Lachenicht Pdf

Approaching early modern spies, espionage and secret diplomacy as central elements in (wartime) communication networks, the thirteen contributions to this volume examine different kinds of espionage (economic espionage, political espionage etc.), identify different types of spies - diplomats, postmasters, court musicians, cooks and prostitutes - and reflect the multiple meanings and functions of information obtained through the many practices of spying in the early modern period. Drawing on examples from a wide range of states and empires, the volume looks into recruitment strategies and cryptography, highlights processes of professionalization and traces the reputation of spies ranging from the >honourable to the villain

The Secret Treaties of History by Edward Grosek Pdf

The Secret Treaties of History is the first general index for locating the texts of agreements that nations entered into secretly. It lists and explains 593 secret treaties made from 1521 to 2000 among 110 nations and political entities. Each secret treaty entry in the list has the treaty's title, its contracting states, the city and date of signature, a citation to at least one source of text and/or credible information, and an annotation for its background or content. Most of these treaties were concluded for political or military ends. They are found among scores of treaty collections, in documentaries, in government reports, in research reports based on scholarly work in archives, in a small number of history books, and in articles in learned journals and articles by investigative journalists. The entire list, which makes up Chapter 1, is indexed by nation. It will be of direct use to professors and students of history, political science, and international law and, of course, to librarians and journalists. Chapter 2 is a guide to the many sources of secret treaty texts cited to in the first chapter. Chapter 3 is an annotated bibliography for the study of secret diplomacy and secret agreement making and for statements (including denials) made by American leaders on secrecy in diplomacy and treaty negotiations. Chapter 4 is an essay on the characteristics of secret treaties themselves and their signers. Chapter 5 explains the legal rules that the American President must abide by when he makes confidential, unpublished treaties with other world leaders. This chapter should interest foreign government officials, legal theorists, and international lawyers. Chapter 6 consists of an introduction to the Treaty of Crépi of 1544, four pages of photocopies of the original handwritten text of the secret articles to this treaty, and an English language translation of them. Neither the French nor the Spanish Ministries of Foreign Affairs have a copy of this treaty's secret articles, nor are they published in any other book or journal article. This text and translation will be useful to a historian or biographer who needs full information on Francis I of France or Charles V of Spain. The appendix is an alphabetized list of foreign and specialty words, abbreviations, acronyms, idioms, and phrases found particularly within treaties or used in the treaty making process. Following the appendix, are the two indexes, for Chapters 1 and 3. The Secret Treaties of History is meant for purchase by research libraries, law school libraries, historical archives, international affairs interest groups, lobby groups, and European ministries of foreign affairs.

International Rivalry and Secret Diplomacy in East Asia, 1896-1950 by Bruce A. Elleman Pdf

East Asia was a major focus of struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War of 1945 to 1991, with multiple "hot" and "cold" conflicts in China, Korea, and Vietnam. The struggle for predominance in East Asia, however, largely predated the Cold War, as this book shows, with many examples of the United States and Russia/the Soviet Union working to exercise and increase control in the region. The book focuses on secret treaties, 26 of them, signed from the mid-1890s through 1950, when secret agreements between China and the USSR, including several concerning the Chinese Eastern Railway, gave Russia greater control over Manchuria and Outer Mongolia. One of the most important was negotiated in 1945, when Stalin signed the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty with Chiang Kai-shek and the Chinese Nationalists, that included a secret protocol granting the Soviet Navy sea control over the Manchurian littorals. This secret protocol excluded the US Navy from landing Nationalist troops at the major Manchurian ports, thereby guaranteeing the Chinese Communist victory in Northeast China; from Manchuria, the Chinese Communists quickly spread south to take all of Mainland China. To a large degree, therefore, this formerly undiscussed secret diplomacy set the underlying conditions for the Cold War in East Asia.
