The European Diplomatic Corps: Diplomats and International Cooperation from Westphalia to Maastricht

by M. Cross

Overview

The European Diplomatic Corps argues that diplomats comprise a transnational network of experts or 'epistemic community' which has been critical in determining co-operation or non-co-operation among European states. The cases considered are the congresses of Westphalia (1648), Berlin (1878), Paris (1919) and Maastricht (1992).
