There is a real collection of reference books focusing on diplomacy as a specific activity different from foreign policy and international relations. One limit of these works is that they often develop their analysis from the example of Western liberal democracies. On the other hand, journals specifically devoted to diplomacy exist, but are less numerous. Many works on the ideal diplomat continue to be published in more generalist international relations journals.
