Work in progress, please do not cite or release Levaillant Mélissa, Sciences Po. ISA-FLACSO 2014 Analysing Diplomatic Institutions to Understand Foreign-Policy Behaviour: A Sociological Approach to India’s Diplomacy in a Changing World Introduction The early 1990s marked an important shift in India’s foreign policy. Following the fall of the Soviet Union, India lost its principal economic and military partner. During the same period, Indian decision-makers decided to abandon the Soviet-style command economy and to impulse economic liberalisation. The combination of these international and domestic factors provided the Indian government with an incentive to adopt a more pragmatic and flexible foreign policy and to develop an active economic diplomacy. Besides, the realisation of nuclear tests in 1998 contributed to the rise of India’s international status, as illustrated by the signature of a strategic partnership with the United States in 2005 and the recognition of India as a ‘responsible’ nuclear power. Yet, this change in India’s foreign policy has to be nuanced. India’s diplomacy still relies on the implementation of the principles of non-alignment. At multilateral forums, such as the WTO, and poly-lateral summits like the BRICS summit, Indian decision-makers have been proactive in the defence of the interests of developing and emerging countries. In addition, issues like the Iranian nuclear crisis or the international intervention in Libya in 2011 have been intensely criticised by members of the Indian strategic community, who denounce the neo-imperialist attitude of Western countries. Against this background, this paper tries to understand the main challenges of India’s foreign policy transformations since the end of the Cold War, in terms of diplomatic adaptation and practices. -

Remarks Made by H.E. ESTIFANOS Afeworki, Ambassador of the State
Remarks made by H.E. ESTIFANOS Afeworki, Ambassador of the State of Eritrea and Dean of the African Diplomatic Corps (ADC) in Tokyo on the Occasion of the Sayonara Luncheon held in Honor of Her Excellency Ms. Beryl Rose SISULU Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of South Africa to Japan on February 14, 2017. Your Excellency, Ms. Beryl Rose SISULU Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of South Africa to Japan Your Excellencies and Dear Colleagues, First of all let me express our gratitude and thanks, on behalf of the African Diplomatic Corps and myself, to our dear sister Ambassador MUTUTI of Zambia for organizing this luncheon at a very short notice, As you all know, we are here, gathered in this sayonara luncheon today, to honor and bid farewell, our dear sister and colleague, H.E. Ms. Beryl Rose SISULU Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of South Africa to Japan. In diplomacy and related practical livelihood there is time to come and time to go. We are always happy to see in life the birth but sad when it ends. But in diplomacy a departure from a post of a sister or a brother is only momentary. The friendship that we have mutually built together stays where ever we might be assigned next. This is a consolation that diplomats have in their life. Therefore, today's Sayonara Luncheon organized by the African Diplomatic Corps (ADC), before Your Excellency's departure, and in a very short notice, is just to express and to seize the occasion to thank and express our gratitude for the support Your Excellency gave to our collective diplomacy and friendship shared with all of us here in Tokyo, since April 4, 2017. -

Your Excellency Mr. Hisham ELI‐ZIMAITY, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Arab Republic of Egypt to Japan Your Excellencies and Dear Colleagues, As you all know, we are here, gathered in this luncheon today, to honor and bid farewell, our dear brother and colleague, Mr. Hisham ELI‐ZIMAITY, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Arab Republic of Egypt to Japan. As we always say when we bid farewell to our dear colleagues, there is time to come and time to go. The very special thing about Ambassador ELI‐ZIMAITY departure is, in His Excellency's long experience of diplomatic carrier which has taken him to Dakar, Senegal; Cairo, Egypt; Geneva, Switzerland; Cairo, Egypt; New York, USA; Cairo, Egypt; Brussels, Belgium; Paris, France; Islamabad, Pakistan; Cairo, Egypt; Ljubljan, Solovinia; Budapest, Hungary; Cairo, Egypt; Tokyo, Japan; since 1980, speak for themselves in many words which I have no capacity to fathom and explain in detail in such a short time and occasion. The Ambassador has served Egypt the continent of Africa with a distinguished leadership, wisdom, skill in diplomacy marked with solidarity and friendship which was highly appreciated and valued by all the members of the African Diplomatic Corps, the delegation of the European union, international organizations in Tokyo and all local partners of Egypt at different levels in Japan: i.e. -
A Familiar Frontier: the Kennedy Administration in the Congo
A Familiar Frontier: The Kennedy Administration in the Congo Master’s Thesis Presented To The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of History David Engerman, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Master’s Degree by Tyler Ritchie May 2012 ABSTRACT A Familiar Frontier: The Kennedy Administration in the Congo A thesis presented to the Department of History Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Tyler Ritchie Previous historical scholarship has tended to support the idea that John F. Kennedy’s inauguration began a period of increased U.S. involvement in and cooperation with Africa. However, U.S. treatment of the crisis in the Congo stayed remarkably the same from Eisenhower to Kennedy. In its treatment of Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba, its efforts to secure a new national leader, and its handling of the Belgian-backed, secessionist government in Katanga Province, the Kennedy Administration largely followed the lead of its immediate predecessor. This thesis uses government documents from the high levels of both Administrations to show that Kennedy’s advisers reflected the same assumptions, often wrong ones, about U.S. interests in the Congo and the dangers of communist takeover. This thesis concludes that any desire for a changed Africa policy was not strong enough to lead the U.S. to compromise its perceived national interests in the Congo. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 Chapter One: Stanleyville 12 Chapter Two: Leopoldville 41 Chapter Three: Elisabethville 67 Conclusion 93 Bibliography 97 iii Introduction 1960 was known as the Year of Africa, a label that only calls the mind to the many previous years that Africa had spent either neglected or dominated by the West.
