• PART I: THEORIZING FOREIGN POLICY: ACTORHOOD AND BOUNDARIES; PART II: THE GOVERNANCE OF INTERCOMMUNAL RELATIONS IN ANTIQUITY; PART III: UNCERTAINTY AND TRANSITION WITHIN THE "WESTPHALIAN SYSTEM": NORMATIVE PATTERNS AND PRACTICES BETWEEN AND BEYOND SOVEREIGN STATES; PART IV: ALTERNATIVE AUTHORITIES IN INTERCOMMUNAL RELATIONS AND INTERNATIONAL LAW; PART V: CONCLUSIONS

By understanding foreign policy as boundary-producing practices, The Transformation of Foreign Policy is a welcome contribution to move Foreign Policy Analysis beyond the study of decision-making processes. This take asks for a more historical perspective, covering the delimitation of social spaces across time from well before the Westphalian system, as in the early Greek and Medieval polities. It also invites for a reflexive analysis of these historical practices in their production of political, legal, civilizational and also racial lines. The volume shows ways of, and makes a persuasive call for, redrawing the contours of International Relations with historical and legal expertise.
