Perspectives
Recent developments in diplomatic practice and state-society relations make it more appropriate to speak of diplomacy's public turn or the societization of diplomacy, which is reflected in this bibliography. Thanks to Shangbie Du and Abhiraj Goswami for their invaluable research assistance.
