Fringe Players and the Diplomatic Order

More about the book

The book explores the roles of the Holy See, the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and the EU within the contemporary diplomatic landscape. It argues that these entities challenge the traditional state-centric view of diplomacy, suggesting that the modern diplomatic order functions more as a heteronomy, where non-state actors play significant roles. Through this analysis, the text highlights the evolving nature of international relations and the importance of these fringe players in shaping diplomatic practices.
