With this inaugural issue, the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy of Georgetown University and Westview Press are pleased to introduce The Diplomatic Record. In a world of ferment where diplomacy vies with conflict, we intend to bring you annual highlights of the world of the diplomats, their accomplishments, their continuing efforts, and the changing circumstances of their profession.
In this as in future issues, we begin with essays on recently concluded diplomatic negotiations both by practitioners involved in the action and by scholars who have combined research with detailed discussions with the participants. Then follow summaries of significant continuing negotiations, accompanied by a review of developments in the governance of diplomacy, a chronology, and a bibliography of recent works on diplomacy.
This project is supported by a generous grant from the Harriman Foundation, through the active interest of Pamela Harriman. It is highly appropriate that a publication dedicated to a greater understanding of diplomacy should be associated with the name of Averell Harriman, one of America's distinguished diplomats.
Other donors made possible the research and writing of individual authors. Support was received from the J. Howard Pew Freedom Trust, the Earhart Foundation, the United States Institute of Peace, the H.J. Heinz Company Foundation, the John Thomas Smith Memorial Foundation, the Chevron Corporation, and Mobil Oil.
In the production of The Diplomatic Record we are indebted also to the editorial advisory committee. This committee draws not only on the faculty of the School of Foreign Service of Georgetown University but also on the worldwide network of deans and directors of schools and academies of diplomacy around the world. Their support and advice will make this publication truly international.
When undertaking a work of this kind, an editor is conscious both of opportunities and of limitations. Opportunities are present in the progress made in the resolution of regional and global conflicts. Limitations are present in space restrictions that prevent as full an account as might be warranted and reduce the number of documents that can be cited. An additional factor is the lead, or production, time that precludes reference to the most up-to-date developments in a dynamic, unpredictable field. Nevertheless, we present this initial issue with a confidence that within these limitations we have assembled a survey of some of the significant accomplishments of recent diplomacy that will be of value to scholars, practitioners, and general readers who, in the search for peace and freedom, look to the skill of the diplomat
