{"title":"India-Latin America Relations, 2000-22: Their Encounter and Shared Gains","authors":"Jorge I. Domínguez","doi":"10.1080/09592296.2023.2270318","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09592296.2023.2270318","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIndia’s relations with Latin American countries are of long-standing but they had had low salience for both sides. During the early 21st century, the salience increased for both. What explains this change? The confluence of shifts in the structure of the international system, economic and political regime change, and the rise to office of new governments in India and key Latin American countries, in particular Brazil and Mexico, permitted and fostered an acceleration and intensification of relations between India and such countries. The heightened inter-country partnerships during 2004–14 resulted from statecraft, that is, the deliberate actions of the governments of India and its key Latin American partners in response to new international system opportunities and the subsequent actions of their respective business communities. Prime ministers and presidents acted on the structural opportunity to enact innovative foreign policies. These governments coordinated their policies in multilateral institutions, helped to reshape them, and innovated in creating new multilateral entities. They also opened new avenues for business investment and trade. In time, democratic politics – the transfer of power from incumbent parties and leaders to the opposition – converted one administration’s policy into the foreign policy of the State.

Approximately 65 years have passed since the reparation payment began. The nature of Japan’s Official Development Assistance, which has been based on economic infrastructure and prioritises Asia, began with war reparations. Although post-war reparations are relevant to Japan’s economic statecraft, previous studies have analysed only the negotiation process for individual countries. No comprehensive historical analysis of war reparations has been conducted so far. This paper fills this gap by analysing the declassified materials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the state-of-the-art Japanese literature based on those materials. It also clarifies the characteristics of war reparations as part of Japan’s Official Development Assistance by looking at the projects and goods paid by the reparations in each country. Furthermore, this paper challenges the conventional understanding of previous research on Japan’s economic re-entry into Southeast Asia through reparations. The study concludes that reparations were unimportant in increasing Japan’s exports to Asian countries.","PeriodicalId":44804,"journal":{"name":"Diplomacy & Statecraft","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135948507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Interwoven Models of Peacemaking – the Israeli-Palestinian Case and Beyond","authors":"Sapir Handelman","doi":"10.1080/09592296.2023.2270319","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09592296.2023.2270319","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTTwo competitive approaches are dominant in the debate about the optimal strategy to cope with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Conflict-Management and Conflict-Resolution. This paper suggests looking at them as complementary. It presents four models of peacemaking. The first, the Strong Leader Model, involves drastic unilateral initiatives taken by one of the parties. The second, the Social Reformer Model, encourages domestic reforms within each of the parties. The third, the Political Elite Model, offers various forms of diplomatic interactions and is the dominant experience in Middle East peace processes. The fourth, the Public Assembly Model, proposes the creation of a major Israeli-Palestinian Public Negotiating Congress, based on the multiparty talks used in South Africa and Northern Ireland during the 1990s. This paper concludes that a multifaceted approach, which uses insights from all models in an integrated fashion, has the potential to create a momentum for a revolutionary peacemaking process.

(Friedrich, Carl J. (ed.), Revolution (New York: Atherton Press, 1966), p. 4). The need for a different approach to peacemaking is a lesson that can be learned from the peacemaking processes of the 1990s that led to a revolutionary transformation in two other cases of intractable conflict: the struggle against the Apartheid system in South Africa and The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Prior to this appointment, he enjoyed a Foreign Office career that spanned some three decades, where he was involved in notable episodes such as the Munich Agreement, the Moscow Conference (1939), the workings of the European Advisory Commission, and the post-war occupation of Germany. Strang’s career, however, has been subject to little scholarly attention. He is often regarded as a competent, yet singularly dull individual lacking the intellect or the original thinking of his contemporaries, such as Robert Vansittart, Alexander Cadogan, Orme Sargent, or Gladwyn Jebb. This article challenges this interpretation, arguing that while Strang has a clearly identifiable worldview, this was intrinsically tied to his view of the proper function of a Foreign Office official. For Strang, it was not the role of the official to sway a minister’s mind with well-argued memoranda, but to make vast quantities of information and arguments comprehensible to allow a minister to make as informed a decision as possible. This fundamental tenet of Strang’s worldview must be understood when examining his career prior to his appointment as Permanent Under-Secretary of the Foreign Office.","PeriodicalId":44804,"journal":{"name":"Diplomacy & Statecraft","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135948508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It does so by focussing on the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE) and the Multilateral Balanced Force Reduction (MBFR) talks and suggests that individuals and individual creativity to make use of non-conventional tools, in combination with attention to working conditions, impact the outcome. CSCE ventured in entirely new territory and promoted such novel concepts as the indivisibility of security, and the free flow of individuals, information, and ideas. As such it appealed to negotiatiors’ creativity; by contrast, MBFR was about reducing conventional forces in the given constellation of a divided Europe – it treated this division as a fact of life; as such it may have offered far less opportunities for individual diplomats’ creativity to fully blossom. Taken together a discussion of these tools also contribute to the structure – agency debate: they provide additional evidence that individual diplomats – though often simply seen as tools of their respective governments and merely acting within a certain constellation – and close attention to the conditions they have to work in, do matter, even when, of course, it is governments, not diplomats, that will have to sanction the results they achieve. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. The title ‘Tired of Waking Up on the Floor’ is taken from The No No Song, composed by David P. Jackson Jr and Hoyt Wayne Axton where the singer announces he will stop drinking and taking drugs because he’s ‘Tired of Waking Up on the Floor’. It was recorded in 1974 by Ringo Starr and released on his Goodnight Vienna. At the end of the song Starr murmurs he really needs another drink. Perhaps this is not the best place to thank the two anonymous reviewers of an earlier version of this article, but I’d like to express my gratitude for their valuable comments and suggestions.2. ‘Oh, When These Bloody Talks Are Over’ (to the melody of ‘Oh, What a Friend We Have in Jesus’) in Documents on British Policy Overseas, series III, vol.
