Diplomatic History and the Institutions of Security

Readers encounter diplomatic history through the revealing, and sometimes contested, perspective of security governance. The planned chapters distinguish mechanisms from metaphors, empirical findings from predictions, and strong evidence from plausible conjecture. The emphasis is on diplomatic history viewed through security governance, with comparative evidence, historical context, critical interpretation, and carefully bounded forecasts. Which mechanisms explain observed differences without confusing correlation with cause?
