ABSTRACT The protection of diplomats, embassies and sensitive information has always been an important aspect of diplomacy. Today, security is an accepted norm of day-to-day diplomatic work, yet the importance of security in the UK Foreign Office was not always appreciated, with the department witnessing embarrassing security lapses and scandals during the first half of the Twentieth Century. This article highlights the importance of security to diplomacy, offering the first significant study of the origins and early development of the Foreign Office’s Security Department, established in 1946. It also explores the tensions between security officials and the wider Foreign Office, which indicate the extent to which organisational and internal cultural issues stymied good diplomatic security, issues that were laid bare in the aftermath of the defection of Foreign Office officials Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean in 1951.
对外交官、使馆和敏感信息的保护一直是外交工作的一个重要方面。今天,安全是日常外交工作中公认的规范,但安全在英国外交部的重要性并不总是得到重视,该部门在20世纪上半叶见证了令人尴尬的安全失误和丑闻。本文强调了安全对外交的重要性,对1946年成立的外交部安全部门的起源和早期发展进行了首次有意义的研究。它还探讨了安全官员与更广泛的外交部之间的紧张关系,这表明组织和内部文化问题在多大程度上阻碍了良好的外交安全,这些问题在1951年外交部官员盖伊·伯吉斯和唐纳德·麦克林叛逃后暴露无遗。

The Diplomacy of Military Assistance: The Royal Navy Training Team and the Nigerian Civil War 军事援助外交:皇家海军训练队与尼日利亚内战

ABSTRACT This article studies the Anglo-Nigerian negotiations for a Royal Navy training team during the Nigerian Civil War against the background of Africa’s ‘phoney’ Cold War and Britain’s global strategic withdrawal. This allows it to show Britain’s diplomatic manoeuvres to simultaneously prevent provoking debilitating opposition against its tightrope policy of supporting Federal Nigeria against Biafra and safeguard its significant, predominantly economic – particularly oil – interests in Nigeria. Initially inconvenienced by the Nigerian request for a naval training team, British policymakers gradually agreed to send one after the war, then promised to do so already before, and, after the foreign policy establishment had overcome the Ministry of Defence’s resistance, finally sent out Royal Navy officers to Nigeria before the end of hostilities. In this process, the Nigerians had allies in the British High Commission in Lagos and the Foreign (and Commonwealth) Office, as well as substantial leverage as a result of Indian and Soviet competition in the Nigerian market for military assistance. Yet this leverage was mitigated by the Federals’ preference for British over Indian military assistance, and fear of becoming too reliant on Moscow. Not only in the British, but also in the Nigerian case, diplomatic concerns thus outweighed the military rationale for the naval training team, and this ‘diplomacy of military assistance’ contrasts with the basic tenor of the theoretical literature on military assistance in civil wars.
本文研究了在非洲“假”冷战和英国全球战略撤军的背景下,尼日利亚内战期间英国与尼日利亚谈判组建皇家海军训练队的过程。这让它得以展示英国的外交手腕,既能防止激起反对其支持联邦尼日利亚对抗比夫拉的走钢丝政策的削弱性反对,又能保护其在尼日利亚的重要、主要是经济利益——尤其是石油利益。起初,尼日利亚要求派遣一支海军训练小组,英国决策者对此感到不便,但战后他们逐渐同意派遣一支,并在之前就承诺这样做,在外交政策机构克服了国防部的阻力后,最终在战争结束前向尼日利亚派遣了皇家海军军官。在这个过程中,尼日利亚在拉各斯的英国高级专员公署和外交(和联邦)办公室有盟友,而且由于印度和苏联在尼日利亚军事援助市场上的竞争,尼日利亚人有很大的影响力。然而,由于联邦政府更倾向于英国而不是印度的军事援助,以及担心变得过于依赖莫斯科,这种影响力减弱了。不仅在英国,而且在尼日利亚的情况下,外交方面的考虑因此超过了海军训练小组的军事理由,这种“军事援助外交”与内战中军事援助理论文献的基本基调形成鲜明对比。

Paying the Price for Allies: Britain, the Seven and the EFTA Stockholm Negotiations 为盟友付出代价:英国、七国和欧洲自由贸易联盟斯德哥尔摩谈判

ABSTRACT Few scholars would dispute that negotiations for the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), which formally commenced near Stockholm in June 1959, moved at breakneck speed. Generally acknowledged too are the reasons behind this haste: the need swiftly to find another route to working with the European Economic Community (EEC) following the collapse of the wider Free Trade Area (FTA) proposal, the degree of consensus already achieved by the Association’s founder members during the FTA talks, and the fact that few felt EFTA was a permanent alternative to an arrangement with the Six. But none of this negated the very real obstacles faced by negotiators. Each indeed obliged the Seven collectively – and, as by far the single largest economic actor, Britain specifically – to reconsider the scope of the agreement under discussion and the sorts of concessions required to reach a deal. And yet this is a moment in EFTA’s founding often glossed over in extant literature. This article consequently provides a long-overdue detailed study of the build-up to, and evolution of, the Stockholm negotiations, examining the topics on which negotiators focused and the conditions under which compromises eventually emerged. In so doing, it points to the agency of smaller EFTA states in being able to exercise maximum influence at critical junctures in the process and explains why the timing of their demands as well as the nature of the negotiations themselves ultimately influenced their success.
1959年6月,欧洲自由贸易联盟(EFTA)在斯德哥尔摩附近正式启动,几乎没有学者会质疑其谈判进展得如此之快。人们也普遍承认,这种匆忙背后的原因是:在更广泛的自由贸易区(FTA)提案失败后,需要迅速找到与欧洲经济共同体(EEC)合作的另一条途径;在自由贸易区谈判期间,该协会的创始成员已经达成了共识;事实上,很少有人认为欧洲自由贸易区是与六国安排的永久替代方案。但所有这些都不能消除谈判代表面临的真正障碍。实际上,每一个国家都迫使七国集团——尤其是迄今为止最大的经济体英国——重新考虑正在讨论的协议的范围,以及达成协议所需的让步种类。然而,这是欧洲自由贸易联盟成立的一个时刻,在现存的文献中经常被掩盖。因此,本文对斯德哥尔摩谈判的筹备和演变进行了一项期待已久的详细研究,审查了谈判代表关注的主题以及最终达成妥协的条件。在这样做时,它指出较小的欧洲自由贸易联盟国家的机构能够在这一进程的关键时刻发挥最大的影响力,并解释了为什么它们提出要求的时机以及谈判本身的性质最终影响了它们的成功。

Don’t Cry No More: A Comparative Study of U.S. Domestic and Foreign Restrictions on Riot Control Agent Use 别再哭了:美国国内外对防暴剂使用限制的比较研究

ABSTRACT What catalysed the changing status of riot control agents (RCAs hereafter) use in wartime? Is that the same catalyst causing domestic policy change for RCAs today? The relationship between war and technology is dynamic, with regular advances to make militaries and police more effective. Some emergent chemical-based technologies are quickly restricted as chemical weapons; others are deemed permissible in perpetuity. However, there may be a third option where classification can change from permissible to restricted over time. We use a structured, focused comparative case study of the United States to understand the INUS causes of this shift at both the domestic and international level of policymaking, particularly where RCAs like tear gas are concerned. To determine this, we ask (1) what processes led to policy change; (2) which factors or forces motivated policy change; and (3) were the same factors present at both the domestic and international level of policy change? By investigating these questions, we find that normative logics are necessary but not sufficient for causing RCA’s changing status. Factors like social pressure and issue saliency, among others, create the necessary environment for norms to impact the RCAs’ status.
摘要:是什么促使了防暴剂在战争中的使用状况发生变化?这是导致当今区域协调机构国内政策变化的同一催化剂吗?战争与技术之间的关系是动态的,随着军事和警察的不断进步,这种关系变得更加有效。一些新兴的化学武器技术很快就被限制为化学武器;其他人被认为是永久允许的。然而,可能还有第三种选择,分类可以随着时间的推移从允许变为限制。我们对美国进行了结构化、重点突出的比较案例研究,以了解INUS在国内和国际决策层面造成这种转变的原因,特别是在涉及催泪瓦斯等RCA的情况下。为了确定这一点,我们要问(1)是什么过程导致了政策变化;(2) 哪些因素或力量促使政策变化;以及(3)国内和国际政策变化层面是否存在相同的因素?通过研究这些问题,我们发现规范逻辑是造成RCA地位变化的必要条件,但并不充分。社会压力和问题显著性等因素为规范影响RCA的地位创造了必要的环境。

ABSTRACT The question how and why the First World War broke out has filled entire learned libraries, but its no less salient and consequential counterpart—how it got to be so protracted when so many of the illusions that contributed to the outbreak were already shattered by Christmas 1914—has received much less attention, though recent scholarship has begun to close the gap. The aims and anxieties of the respective parties certainly played a prime part on both sides, as did their continued hopes of winning and the complications of coalition warfare. But something more insidious counted for just as much: namely how the horrendous manner in which the war began—grievously disappointing expectations on all sides and producing a staggering five million casualties within only a few months—did not induce, as the standards of textbook rationality might suggest, a readiness to recognise where things were headed and a consequent willingness to change course. Instead of prompting the belligerents to heed the sunk cost principle and cut losses by a timely settlement, the opening months had just the opposite effect, hardening positions that should have been discredited, and leaving the belligerents all the more determined to keep fighting to the bitter end at practically any cost not only to their enemies but also to themselves. How this was possible will be explained, in part, by making connections with prospect and decision theory.
第一次世界大战是如何以及为什么爆发的这个问题占据了整个学术图书馆,但它同样重要和重要的另一个问题——当许多促成爆发的幻想在1914年圣诞节之前已经破灭时,它为什么会持续这么长时间——受到的关注要少得多,尽管最近的学术研究已经开始缩小这一差距。当然,双方的目标和焦虑,以及他们对胜利的持续希望和联合战争的复杂性,对双方都起了主要作用。但是,一些更为隐秘的因素也同样重要:即战争开始时的可怕方式——让各方的期望严重失望,在短短几个月内造成了惊人的500万人伤亡——并没有像教科书上的理性标准所暗示的那样,促使人们准备好认识到事态的发展方向,并因此愿意改变方向。战争开始的几个月非但没有促使交战双方遵守沉没成本原则,通过及时的和解来减少损失,反而产生了相反的效果,使本应不可信的立场变得更加强硬,使交战双方更加坚定了坚持战斗到底的决心,不仅要让敌人付出代价,还要让自己付出代价。这是如何可能的,将通过与前景和决策理论的联系来部分解释。

ABSTRACT The ability of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to modify the status quo generates heated discussions in academia. The literature on this partnership identifies many potential loopholes which the former are enabled to fill in, a situation known as retreat of state. NGOs are influential actors in pursuing public diplomacy through non-ordinary and semi-formal ways assisting to forge genuine partnership with foreign public opinions, specifically in underdeveloped countries, to achieve the goals of their parent state. Turkish civil society actors, in this regard, promote Turkey’s image and mould its identity in an exemplary fashion in order to broaden the scope of Turkish soft power in tandem with state institutions. The NGO’s competences in reaching to isolated areas, engaging with local communities through aid and voluntary-based membership free from financial burden, work hand-in-hand with the state which forms an important part of the capacity to foster and facilitate a better image of Turkey. This research undertakes an analysis of NGO-led foreign aid activities, within the framework of the public diplomacy context, that lead in a spectrum of situations by using participatory methods. In particular, it scrutinises how Turkish NGOs’ aid activities portray Turkey’s public diplomacy, putting the country in good light. Effective Turkish humanitarian campaigns are used as a case study to further develop an understanding of Turkey’s public diplomacy initiatives.
非政府组织改变现状的能力在学术界引起了热烈的讨论。关于这种伙伴关系的文献发现了许多潜在的漏洞,前者能够填补这些漏洞,这种情况被称为国家退缩。非政府组织是通过非普通和半正式方式开展公共外交的有影响力的行动者,协助与外国公众舆论建立真正的伙伴关系,特别是在欠发达国家,以实现其母国的目标。在这方面,土耳其民间社会行动者以模范的方式宣传土耳其的形象并塑造其身份,以便与国家机构一道扩大土耳其软实力的范围。该非政府组织在深入偏远地区、通过援助和自愿成员身份与当地社区接触而不受经济负担方面的能力,与国家携手合作,这是培养和促进土耳其更好形象的能力的重要组成部分。本研究分析了非政府组织主导的对外援助活动,这些活动在公共外交背景下,通过使用参与性方法在一系列情况下发挥主导作用。特别是,它仔细审查了土耳其非政府组织的援助活动如何描绘土耳其的公共外交,使该国备受关注。有效的土耳其人道主义运动被用作案例研究,以进一步了解土耳其的公共外交举措。

Concert of the World: Early British Efforts to Articulate a Post-War Grand Strategy, 1939-1942 《世界音乐会:1939-1942年早期英国阐明战后大战略的努力》

ABSTRACT This essay examines in detail the early years of British planning for a post-war security policy. The first years of the war saw British statesmen and officials consumed by concerns over the military conflict and hesitant to commit the government to specific war aims.

本文详细考察了英国早年制定战后安全政策的情况。战争的头几年,英国政治家和官员对军事冲突感到担忧,对政府实现特定的战争目标犹豫不决。这种趋势在1940年和1941年发生了变化,主要是因为人们担心,如果不能对抗德国关于欧洲“新秩序”的宣传,欧洲民众将接受纳粹对欧洲大陆未来经济和政治秩序的设计。尽管英国内部对未来的国际秩序和英国在其中的地位进行了积极的辩论,尽管没有明确的辩论,但仍然缺乏具体的政策制定。《大西洋宪章》虽然事后看来是一个深刻的时刻,但当时的英国官员并不完全这么认为。真正的战略调整发生在1942年夏天,当时外交部制定了“四国计划”。尽管这一政策建议在1942年秋天引起了激烈的争论,但最终被英国内阁原则上接受,并将继续确定英国在战争剩余时间的大战略。

ABSTRACT The year 1930 was a turning point for Greek-Turkish relations. It was the year that the two neighbouring countries set the foundations for their close diplomatic cooperation that lasted throughout the 1930s. This paper seeks to explain the reasons why Greece decided to pursue such a policy. It is argued that Athens was eager to form a pro-status quo front with Ankara in order to deter the revisionist tendencies of powers in the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean (namely Bulgaria and Italy). This was a strategic choice on the part of Greece which explains why it was followed by all the Greek governments (irrespectively of their ideological and/or partisan association) from 1930 until the outbreak of the Second World War.
1930年是希腊与土耳其关系的转折点。正是在这一年,这两个邻国奠定了持续整个1930年代的密切外交合作的基础。本文试图解释希腊决定采取这种政策的原因。有人认为,雅典急于与安卡拉组成维持现状的阵线,以阻止巴尔干和东地中海国家(即保加利亚和意大利)的修正主义倾向。这是希腊方面的一个战略选择,这解释了为什么从1930年到第二次世界大战爆发,所有希腊政府(无论其意识形态和/或党派关系如何)都遵循了这一选择。
