HVOR GIK STATENS REPRÆSENTANTER HEN, DA DE GIK UD? NYE ROLLEFORSTÅELSER HOS DIPLOMATER OG PARLAMENTARIKERE EFTER 1945

ABSTRACTArtiklen undersøger, hvordan internationale organisatoriske udviklinger har påvirket arketypiske statslige repræsentanter som diplomater og parlamentarikeres roller og handlemønstre. Artiklen præsenterer et pilotstudium af en gruppe diplomater og en gruppe parlamentarikere, der begge var eksponeret for og kom til at personliggøre de nye multilaterale rammevilkår, som de europæiske statsrepræsentanter kom til at agere indenfor: den gruppe af udenrigsøkonomiske diplomater, som kom til at spille en central rolle i forbindelse med Danmarks indgang i EF, og de første folketingsmedlemmer med sæde i Europaparlamentet.Teoretisk og metodisk har artiklen tre inspirationskilder: 1) den nyinstitutionalistiske litteratur inden for komparativ politologi, der har anlagt et sociologisk perspektiv på studiet af politiske organisationer; 2) sociologiske studier, der har udviklet Pierre Bourdieu’s begrebsverden vedrørende gruppeadfærd i mødet med det europæiske og det transnationale; 3) transnational historie.Ved at anvende disse tilgange har studiet peget på, at for både diplomater og parlamentarikere har de nye internationale samarbejdsstrukturer medført en markant ny bevægelighed udi de fremvoksende transnationale administrative og politiske felter. Den grundlæggende sociale struktur, der organiserede disse bevægelser,udgjordes af en elite rekrutteret i den danske politiske og administrative kontekst, men samtidig bidrog de ændrede rammebetingelser også til en omformning af denne elite, dens handlemønstre og rolleforståelse

Bringing the Diplomat Back In: Elements of a New Historical Research Agenda

In the 20th century and since 1945 in particular the institution of diplomacy has changed. While traditional bilateral diplomatic relations have expanded rapidly as a consequence of decolonisation, other developments have challenged the very nature of existing diplomatic practices. The overall aim of this paper is to reflect on how, from a historical starting point, one can grapple with the changes diplomacy has undergone in an increasingly interconnected and institutionally integrated world. It argues that in order to do so it is necessary to bring the historical study of diplomacy into dialogue with recent transnational perspectives and to draw inspiration from the political and social sciences. It tentatively attempts to develop such a new historical approach and it conducts a pilot study into how increased regional European economic cooperation in the 1950s and 1960s contributed to reshaping diplomatic roles and patterns of actions in the Danish Foreign Service
