Abstract
Both the scope and nature of the international security agenda have evolved significantly in recent years (Riordan, 2003). This reflects changes in the geo-strategic environment and in the way we think about security. These changes have serious implications for global governance issues and how diplomatic services should be reconfigured to tackle them.
