The Pure Concept of Diplomacy
This is a pioneer theoretical study of diplomacy from the viewpoint of political science. It defines diplomacy precisely, and distinguishes it from the other institutions with which it is often confused. The work commences with a historical analysis of diplomacy through the ages in order to afford a theoretical description of the concept. After defining the term, Calvet de Magalhaes goes on to examine the value of current ideas concerning diplomacy. He also describes deviations from normal diplomatic practice, such as backchannel diplomacy, combat diplomacy, and espionage. The work concludes with a detailed precis of the different elements of diplomatic activity.
Manual diplomático: direito diplomático, prática diplomática
As exigências da leccionação nos cursos de formação e de aperfeiçoamento profissional relacionadas com o exercício da profissão, estão na origem da preparação do presente 'Manual Diplomático'. A falta de textos adequados cobrindo toda a matéria a leccionar tornou imperiosa a elaboração de um manual como o que agora se publica e que, de acordo com a sua principal finalidade, possui naturalmente um carácter didáctico e prático. O manual é constituído por duas partes distintas - uma dedicada ao direito diplomático, ou seja, ao conjunto de normas internacionais que regem o exercício da profissão diplomática; e outra, tratando da prática diplomática, abrangendo os vários processos em que se traduz normalmente esse exercício, como sejam os instrumentos de comunicação e a documentação diplomática oficial e ainda o cerimonial ou protocolo oficial.

The Actors in Europe's Foreign Policy
Five years ago observers might have doubted that national foreign policies would continue to be of importance: it seemed inevitable that collective European positions were becoming ever more common and effective. Now the pendulum has swung back with a vengeance. The divided European responses to the prospect of war with Iraq in 1990-91, and to the war in the Balkans have made what happens in the national capitals seem divisive. The Actors in Europe's Foreign Policy is a timely survey of the interplay between the European Union's Common Foreign and Security Policy and the long-established national foreign policies of the Union's Member-States. The book contains a chapter on each country in the Union as well as a chapter on the United States in its role as the `thirteenth seat at the table'. There is also a chapter on the European Commission, whose role in the external relations of the Community steadily grew during the 1980's. This book will be invaluable for students and scholars of the European Union and of international politics. It will also be of great interest to practitioners in all countries concerned with Europe's role in international affairs.
Consuls in the Cold War
No studies currently exist on consuls and consulates (often dismissed as lowly figures in the diplomatic process) in the Cold War. Research into the work of these overlooked 'poor relations' offers the chance of new perspectives in the field of Cold War studies, exploring their role in representing their country’s interests in far flung and unexpected places and their support for particular communities of fellow nationals and itinerant travellers in difficulties. These unnoticed actors on the international stage played far more complicated roles than one generally imagines. .

Modernization Dreams, Lusotropical Promises
