    Diplomacy: the dialogue between states de Adam Watson
    Methuen & Co. London, s.d., 239 págs. B.

    In the first major assessment of diplomatic dialogue since Nicolson’s Diplomacy in 1939, Adam Watson traces the changing techniques of diplomacy from ancient times through the ‘diplomatic society’ of Europe to the present global system. In examining the conventions and institutions which help to shape the international system the author aims not so much to preserve diplomatic order which worked well in the past but rather to identify the continuities and the new conditions which will enable the dialogue to function in the future. He pays special attention to the extension of the dialogue into new fields and to the impact of the newly independent states of the third world. This leads him to argue strongly that the world’s growing interdependence has increased rather than lessened the scope of diplomacy in the nuclear age.

    Our Friend the Alsatian de Rownland Jones [Ed.].
    Methuen & Co. London, 1933, 88 págs. E.

    “The progress of the Alsatian’s popularity T as a friend in the family has been greatly hampered, not so much by any shortcomings of the dog himself as by the misdeeds unjustly imputed to him by the enemies of the breed. Alsatians are ‘treacherous’, they say-and if this is said in the hearing of an admirer of the breed the Alsatian-haters counter the inevitable challenge by saying, ‘Well, you know he’s a one-man dog. How an utter unswerving loyalty and faithfulness to one master, a complete disregard of self, a consistency in friend- ship rarely found in a human being, can be described as treachery’ passes comprehension.”
