Böcker av Vincent (McGill University Pouliot

This book analyzes relations between NATO and Russia since the end of the Cold War to draw lessons about how former enemies can move beyond entrenched rivalry at the diplomatic level. Paying special attention to security practitioners' viewpoints, Pouliot shows how persisting power struggles have limited progress between the two former enemies.

This book examines the establishment of international hierarchies in multilateral diplomacy. Vincent Pouliot observes that in any multilateral setting, some state representatives weigh much more heavily than others, and argues that the practice of diplomacy is structured by a largely unspoken hierarchy of standing, which practitioners refer to as the 'pecking order'.
