1 A DIRECTORY OF BRITISH DIPLOMATS: 1900-2011 CONTENTS : Foreign Office/Foreign and Commonwealth Office: pages 3-68 Diplomatic Missions Overseas(alphabetically by country): pages 69-166 Consul-Generals(alphabetically by city): pages 167-206 Introduction: These lists are a companion to ‘British Ambassadors and High Commissioners 1880- 2010’ on this site. The Notes provided on page 1 of that document apply here also. The principal source used has again been the annual Foreign Office List(from 1965 the Diplomatic Service List). As noted previously however publication ceased in 2006. I have not been able to date to access copies prior to 1917. Additionally I have made extensive use of both ‘Whitaker’s Almanack’ and ‘Who’s Who’. The Foreign Office List contains lists of previous British Ambassadors abroad. Prior to around 1950 the List also included lists of previous British Consul-Generals. To my knowledge what is attempted in this Directory has not previously appeared in print or online. The lists included below involve a degree of selection on my part and may appear, to an extent, to be somewhat arbitrary. I have however tried to include most of the Ministers within British Embassies and High Commissions. The research involved in compiling these lists has been of exceptional difficulty and there will without any doubt be some mistakes and inaccuracies. It is however my hope that sharing the information I have been able to accumulate will be of some use to others. I am only too happy to be corrected where I am in error. 2 Notes: 1. Deputy Under-Secretaries and Assistant Under-Secretaries. It has been particularly difficult to identify the specific departmental/geographical responsibilities of the holders of these posts prior to the Second World War. Far fewer officials at those grades existed before 1939 and their responsibilities were therefore usually much wider in scope. I have simply listed Deputy and Assistant Under-Secretaries up to 1945 without including specific responsibilities. 2. Foreign Office Heads of Department. I have included many-but not all-of the departmental heads within the Foreign Office up to 1965 and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office thereafter. Over the past ten to fifteen years there have been a very considerable number of changes within the FCO to the names and functions of most departments reflecting changes in the international situation and in management practice. I have not attempted to reflect these changes and the departmental listings do not, by and large, extend beyond the mid 1990s. 3. Counsellors. I have included in these lists as far as possible those Counsellors who could be identified as the ‘senior’ Counsellors within an Embassy or High Commission. In most cases these individuals held the additional post of Head of Chancery or, more recently, Deputy Head of Mission or Counsellor(Political). I have also attempted to provide lists of the Commercial Counsellors in at least the major British diplomatic missions abroad. 4. Consul-Generals. The choice here may well appear to be somewhat arbitrary but those cities include most of the major locations of British Consul-Generals. Deputy High Commissioners based in major cities within Australia, Canada, India, Nigeria and Pakistan are included in this section. 5. Honours and decorations are given for postholders but these are not necessarily those held whilst the individual was in post but are the ‘final’ honours awarded to the postholder. It would have required a great deal more time and effort to identify which honours each individual held whilst in each particular post. 6. Reference should be made to the companion list of British Ambassadors and High Commissioners for detail of periods during which no diplomatic relations existed with a particular state. 3 FOREIGN OFFICE;

    The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92

    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.
  • Servants' Passage

    Servants' Passage

    SERVANTS’ PASSAGE: Cultural identity in the architecture of service in British and American country houses 1740-1890 2 Volumes Volume 1 of 2 Aimée L Keithan PhD University of York Archaeology March 2020 Abstract Country house domestic service is a ubiquitous phenomenon in eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain and America. Whilst shared architectural and social traditions between the two countries are widely accepted, distinctive cultural identity in servant architecture remains unexplored. This thesis proposes that previously unacknowledged cultural differences between British and American domestic service can be used to rewrite narratives and re-evaluate the significance of servant spaces. It uses the service architecture itself as primary source material, relying on buildings archaeology methodologies to read the physical structures in order to determine phasing. Archival sources are mined for evidence of individuals and household structure, which is then mapped onto the architecture, putting people into their spaces over time. Spatial analysis techniques are employed to reveal a more complex service story, in both British and American houses and within Anglo-American relations. Diverse spatial relationships, building types and circulation channels highlight formerly unrecognised service system variances stemming from unique cultural experiences in areas like race, gender and class. Acknowledging the more nuanced relationship between British and American domestic service restores the cultural identity of country house servants whose lives were not only shaped by, but who themselves helped shape the architecture they inhabited. Additionally, challenging accepted narratives by re-evaluating domestic service stories provides a solid foundation for a more inclusive country house heritage in both nations. This provides new factors on which to value modern use of servant spaces in historic house museums, expanding understanding of their relevance to modern society.

    Background, Brexit, and Relations with the United States

    The United Kingdom: Background, Brexit, and Relations with the United States Updated April 16, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL33105 SUMMARY RL33105 The United Kingdom: Background, Brexit, and April 16, 2021 Relations with the United States Derek E. Mix Many U.S. officials and Members of Congress view the United Kingdom (UK) as the United Specialist in European States’ closest and most reliable ally. This perception stems from a combination of factors, Affairs including a sense of shared history, values, and culture; a large and mutually beneficial economic relationship; and extensive cooperation on foreign policy and security issues. The UK’s January 2020 withdrawal from the European Union (EU), often referred to as Brexit, is likely to change its international role and outlook in ways that affect U.S.-UK relations. Conservative Party Leads UK Government The government of the UK is led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the Conservative Party. Brexit has dominated UK domestic politics since the 2016 referendum on whether to leave the EU. In an early election held in December 2019—called in order to break a political deadlock over how and when the UK would exit the EU—the Conservative Party secured a sizeable parliamentary majority, winning 365 seats in the 650-seat House of Commons. The election results paved the way for Parliament’s approval of a withdrawal agreement negotiated between Johnson’s government and the EU. UK Is Out of the EU, Concludes Trade and Cooperation Agreement On January 31, 2020, the UK’s 47-year EU membership came to an end.

    The Arabian Peninsula in Modern Times: a Historiographical Survey of Recent Publications J.E

    Journal of Arabian Studies 4.2 (December 2014) pp. 244–74 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/21534764.2014.979080 The Arabian Peninsula in Modern Times: A Historiographical Survey of Recent Publications J.E. PETERSON Abstract: Writing on the history of the Arabian Peninsula has grown considerably in recent years and this survey — an updating of an earlier examination — cites and describes the publications in Western languages since 1990 that deal with the Peninsula’s history, historiography, and related subjects. It loosely categorizes the literature according to subject and assesses the state of the art during this time period. It also includes some personal observations of the author on the progress and direction of writing on the Arabian Peninsula. Keywords: Arabian Peninsula, Gulf, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen, history, historiography, country studies, biography, boundaries, military, economic history, social history, cultural history, diplomatic history, foreign policy, Britain, USA, Islam, Wahhabism, Islamic sects, Indian Ocean studies, Hadramawt, Jews in Yemen 1 Introduction In an article published in 1991, I wrote that “The outlines of Arabia’s modern history are well known. It is the underlying firmament that remains terra incognita.”1 To be sure, much of the ter- ritory still remains unknown or unexplored, but, on the positive side, significant inroads have been made over the two decades since then. This survey is an update of that earlier article. The review of recent literature not only reflects an augmentation of publications but a (seemingly paradoxical) broadening and narrowing of focus. I remarked in the earlier essay that much of the literature was descriptive or narrative.

    Having Raised Villa Decius from Ruins, Kraków Has Become a Somewhat Different City

    Having raised Villa Decius from ruins, Kraków has become a somewhat different city. As if in a house full of beautiful old furniture, someone has placed a bouquet of colourful fresh flowers on one of the antiques. This is an imperfect simile, of course, if for no other reason than that flowers are silent, while Villa Decius is already resonating with multitude of tongues, just as it did in the days of its first owner. How did he converse with Copernicus? In Latin, in German, or in Polish? One way or the other, Villa Decius would once again like to be Kraków’s window on Europe, just as Kraków is one of Poland’s windows, and Poland is one of the widest open windows on the world in this part of Europe. Our guests from all over the world may come together here under the roof of Villa Decius, in the shadow of its trees, not only in brief and fleeting contacts, but in a particular way during extended working fellowships, when persons of shared interests and aspirations can more truly come to know one another, forming at times enduring and fruitful friendships. And who strengthens the human community more than that amicus certus, whom the ancient sages used to say that you would find in your moment of trial, and whose company makes the moments of joy all the sweeter? Prof. Jacek Woźniakowski Honorary President of the Villa Decius Association Within fifteen years of its existence, the Villa Decius Association became an international institution of culture, recognised and appreciated in Europe, popularising the phenomenon of modern culture in its broad meaning, and in a creative way referring to the great tradition inscribed in the history of the Villa.

The International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia is not a one-size-fits-all campaign. It merely creates a space in which sexual and gender diversity can be celebrated in any form. Again this year, civil society organizations, local and national authorities, corporations, regional and international institutions, and schools, among others, across the globe have raised alerts on the many human right abuses which people face because of their real or perceived sexual orientation and/or gender identity or expression. In most countries in Latin America, North America, Europe and Oceania, the Day has become an annual landmark for action. In Asia, the Day is also celebrated in a majority of countries. This year, the Day set the stage for Burma’s first ever LGBT events. In Africa, the Caribbean and the Middle-East, where criminal laws against same-sex relationships are particularly harsh, the Day provided a unique opportunity for action in many countries, including in the most unlikely places such as Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria and Botswana. The Day again also provided the opportunity to mobilize top political institutions against homophobia and transphobia, such as the European Union, OECD, WHO and other United Nation agencies and offices.UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon spoke out on May 17, inviting world leaders to “tackle violence against LGBT people, decriminalize consensual same-sex relationships, ban discrimination and educate the public”.
