Next Tuesday (16 October) will mark the beginning of our Network’s discussion group. The theme for this session will be “Relazioni and diplomatic reporting”. Please read the three following articles in advance of the seminar, which we shall then discuss over tea and biscuits, in a very informal and relaxed atmosphere!
