Diplomacy Before the Russian Revolution: Britain, Russia and the Old Diplomacy, 1894-1917 (Studies in Diplomacy)by Michael Hughes
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In the years before the Russian Revolution, diplomats across Europe were widely condemned for lacking the skills needed to cope in the international environment. They were also frequently criticized for being out of touch with public opinion and too ready to clothe their activities in a veil of secrecy. This book suggests that these charges were unfair and that in both Britain and Russia the role of diplomats and foreign ministry officials was governed by changes in the domestic political environment. While they played an important part in determining the foreign policy of their countries, their influence was often much weaker than their critics assumed. Synopsis:Hughes (history, University of Liverpool) explains the organization and operation of the British and Russian diplomatic establishments during the years before the Russian Revolution. He emphasizes the extent to which the organization and operation of these establishments were governed by domestic considerations, and contends that major changes took place in the organization of diplomatic life in Europe before the outbreak of WWI. Much material is devoted to developments leading up to the Anglo-Russian convention of 1907. About the AuthorMichael Hughes is Lecturer in the School of History at the University of Liverpool.
