.Sage Journals.p. 299-321.Neumann suggests a layered conceptualization of diplomacy as consisting of myths, sociabilities and practices which allows us to open the question of diplomacy’s Euro-centrism to empirical scrutiny. [url]in International Political Sociology Volume 6, Issue 2.
In this article, which focuses on different concepts of state-building and legitimacy as used in the mainstream International Relations (IR) literature, Andersen suggests that recent debates may be categorized in a two-by-two matrix. The axes concern the choice between a normative or a sociological perspective on the one hand, and a focus on state institutions or on society on the other.
The article identifies an empiricist-sociological approach. Still, the almost exclusive reliance on an ontology of entities and their attributes hampers foci on relations as constituting both “insides” and “outsides” in state-building, and on legitimacy as important in its own right as ongoing public contestations. In a concluding section, Andersen explores the purchase of a relational sociology for future studies of legitimacy in state-building.

.Sage Journals.p. 457-481.Rather than seeing social practices as general "doings", this article argues that they could with advantage be conceptualised in a specific, scientific model. In the last section of the article, one such model of practices is applied to the case of Iroquis diplomacy, where the ritual exchange of Wampum belts can be seen as a central practice.

.Elsevier.p. 141–151.De facto states are often dismissed as ‘failing states’. However, in Freedom House rankings of political rights and civil liberties, they sometimes perform better than their parent states – as has been the case with Nagorno-Karabakh. This article examines the development of democracy in Nagorno-Karabakh against a checklist of factors assumed to be relevant: cultural homogeneity, size, existential threats, role of the diaspora, and the consequences of continued non-recognition.

This article explores the options and limitations inherent in the EU's neighborhood policy. It argues that the EU offers not integration, but approximation, and that the EU faces challenges concerning democracy developments and modernization in its neighborhood. Still, the EU is "eastward bound" as many of these challenges are intertwined with the EU's internal development. [url]I Peace and Conflict Studies Volume 7, Number 2.

.United Nations University Press.p. 286-308.Lebanese women were first elected to their National Assembly in 1992. After this, the proportion of women remained at 3-4 out of 128 representatives, and 2-3 women in governments. The author discusses the reasons for this: religion, political or cultural patriarchy. One of the consequences may be that areas traditionally prioritized by women, health care, education and housing were not emphasized during the reconstruction of the country.

.Brill.p. 223 – 240 .The R2P concept relates as much to preventing mass atrocities as to halt on-going ones. This article emphasises the gender dimensions of prevention of and protection against violence and other threats, in order to stress the importance of implementing and mainstreaming gender into R2P. The case study here is the UN support mission to Chad and the Central African Republic (MINURCAT) that provided a fairly encouraging, albeit short-lived, example of gender-responsive measures at the community level for refugees and IDPs in eastern Chad.

.Oxford,Oxford University Press.p. 160-174.In this chapter, Leira and Neumann give a brief presentation of the history of colsuls and the consul system, and relate it to diplomacy today and in the past. They find that in the past, consular tasks were often not linked to diplomacy, and that consular tasks have been given priority in times when the international system is perceived to be changing. The consul system is both more agile and less tied to the idea of imposing sovereignty than diplomacy, they argue. [url]i Internasjonal Politikk 70(4)
.Oslo,Universitetsforlaget.p. 539-560.Artikkelen diskuterer IR-fagets historiografi. Den tar opp den etablerte myten om at faget dukket opp nærmest fra intet i 1919, som et Idealistisk forsøk på å forhindre krig, for deretter å gjennomgå en «første stor debatt» en gang mellom 1930 og 1950, en debatt som Realistene vant.
