Submit a book reviewBOOK SYNOPSIS
The usual phrase for the aims of foreign policy from the Peace of Westphalia to 1918 was interests and honor.' In the Age of the Dictators and the Cold War, honor was derided or perverted but the underlying human concern persisted in the policies of the West, erupted in the revolt against the Empires, and healed every international dispute down to our day. This book offers a history and discussion of this, beginning with persons, social organizations, and business corporations, and then telling the story in international politics from the early modern period to the present.

BOOK REVIEWS
Michael Donelan applies virtue ethics to foreign policy and discerns a motive for honor lurking in even modern and utilitarian liberal society. This study of honor in foreign policy tests the limits of rationalist and consequentialist calculations, and draws vivid pictures of societies where honor in foreign policy ruled. The account of honor in Soviet foreign policy is particularly impressive.ÂÂ
