The series was launched as Studies in Diplomacy in 1994 under the general editorship
of G.R. Berridge. Its purpose is to encourage original scholarship on all aspects of the
theory and practice of diplomacy. The new editors assumed their duties in 2003 with
a mandate to maintain this focus while also publishing research which demonstrates
the importance of diplomacy to contemporary international relations more broadly
conceived.

This edited collection derives from papers presented at two conferences, the
first at the Asia-Pacific College of Diplomacy (March 2006), and the second
at Wilton Park (June 2006). The conferences brought together experts on
diplomacy and global governance, two areas that have been traditionally
cordoned off from each other both in their conceptual and operational
dimensions. Although the reasons for and the consequences of this discon-
nected image remain at the centre of the thematic structure of the book,
much of its innovative quality is a reflection of how, where, and why this
siloed condition has eroded. Intellectually and practically, the standard
assumption that diplomacy and governance exist as ‘Worlds Apart’ can no
longer be simply taken as a given.
Although The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI)
took the lead role in this project, it did so in partnership with the Asia-
Pacific College of Diplomacy at The Australian National University, and
Loughborough University in the United Kingdom. The first conference
benefited from the outstanding organisational skills of Andrea Haese, the
Executive Officer of the Asia-Pacific College of Diplomacy, and Kaye Eldridge,
the Project Officer of the College. Much of the administrative preparation
for the second conference was undertaken with great competence by Carina
Gerlach, then a research student at Loughborough University.
We benefited at both conferences from the presence not only of an array
of knowledgeable academics but also a number of experienced current and
former practitioners. These included David Allen, Karen Banks, Jozef Batora,
Frank Brennan, Michael Carrel, Felix Dodds, John Eddy, SJ, Alexander Evans,
Carlton Evans, Frédéric Grare, Klaus-Peter Klaiber, Sarah Kline, Bernard
Kuiten, John Hemery, David Hendon, Ross Hornby, Geoffrey Brahm Levey,
David Lovell, Tony McGrew, Paul O’Callaghan, April Palmerlee, Tony Payne,
Nana Poku, Pallavi Rai, Haider Reza, Peter Rodgers, Carne Ross, Michael
Reiffenstuel, Ralph Seccombe, Tim Shaw, Major-General Michael Smith, AO,
Koichiro Tanaka, Ronald Walker, Ali Wardak, and Geoffrey Wiseman.
Ambassador Muhammad Shaaban provided a very informative dinner
speech at the Wilton Park conference.
At CIGI, Kelly Jackson’s role was crucial for the successful running of the
two conferences. Andrew Schrumm smoothly managed the process for
delivering the completed manuscript. David Yoon provided a creative tem-
plate for the cover design.
As in other projects John English, the executive director, and Daniel
Schwanen, the chief operating officer and director of research, created an
