Abstract: There is an important distinction to be made between diplomacy as foreign policy, and diplomacy as the process of negotiation and deliberation. Are diplomats agents of international cooperation or transmission belts for states? Many scholars of international relations tend to assume that supranational governance is determined by relative power of states, and underpinned by the maximization of self-interest. However, by looking more closely at the internal processes of deliberation I argue that diplomats as actors are instrumental in enabling cooperation or conflict resolution among Western European states. European diplomats comprise a kind of “epistemic community,” defined as a transnational group with shared norms including expertise, worldviews, and identity by virtue of their continued interaction. This paper looks historically at diplomatic processes to generalize about the endurance and importance diplomats have in fostering transnational ties in a way that impacts outcomes of cooperation and conflict resolution among states. |

"The Los Angeles Consular Corps: Diplomacy Meets Celebrity" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the International Studies Association, Town & Country Resort and Convention Center, San Diego, California, USA, Mar 22, 2006 <Not Available>. 2009-12-05 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p98224_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: The consular corps ? the body of consular officers resident in a particular city outside the capital ? is even more neglected as an international actor than the diplomatic corps in the receiving state?s capital city. The paper considers whether LA?s large consular corps of over 90 missions, in one of the world?s biggest economies, performs its commercial and other consular duties in comparative isolation from one another, paying lip service to protocol (as a Realist would predict), or whether they share a corporate ?diplomatic mindset,? not unlike those in capital cities, that produces shared understandings, conventional wisdoms, and even joint action (that some English School theorists would predict). Drawing on the LA corps, the paper suggests that while neo-Realist theory tends to under-estimate the significance of the corporate culture formed in resident ?diplomatic communities,? English School Constructivists (to coin a phrase) tend to over-estimate it. |

"Generals and Politics: Using History to Develop Civil-Military Competencies within the Officer Corps" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the ISA's 49th ANNUAL CONVENTION, BRIDGING MULTIPLE DIVIDES, Hilton San Francisco, SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA, Mar 26, 2008 <Not Available>. 2009-12-05 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p251135_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: This paper will explore the ways in which history -- in particular, the case study method -- can be developed and used as an effective mechanism for conveying and reinforcing some of the central themes of civil-military relations in a democracy. This pedagogical method, essential within the Professional Military Education system, is also critically important within the civilian academy as a medium for conveying the vital themes within the broad and important topic of civil-military relations. |

"Collaborations Created To Redesign Educational Leadership Program and Create The Principal Corps Model" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, Hilton New Orleans Riverside, New Orleans, LA, <Not Available>. 2009-12-05 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p207223_index.html>Publication Type: Symposium Paper
Abstract: Several private funding sources have assisted the School of Education in redesigning the educational leadership program. These funds have assisted in the creation of partnerships and collaboration among different entities within the educational realm. Also, the partnerships have resulted in the creation of the Principal Corps Model to recruit school leaders into the educational leadership program. |
