International Relations in the Ancient Near East, 1600-1100 B.C.

General Editor: G. R. Berridge, Professor of International Politics, University of Leicester

The series was launched in 1994. Its chief purpose is to encourage original
scholarship on the theory and practice of international diplomacy, including its
legal regulation. The interests of the series thus embrace such diplomatic
functions as signalling, negotiation and consular work, and methods such as
summitry and the multilateral conference. Whilst it has a sharp focus on
diplomacy at the expense of foreign policy, therefore, the series has no prejudice
as to historical period or approach. It also aims to include manuals on protocol
and other aspects of diplomatic practice which will be of immediate, day-to-day
relevance to professional diplomats. A final ambition is to reprint inaccessible
classic works on diplomacy.
