Bureaucracy
Foreign Ministry
A permanent bureau dedicated to conducting the state's external relations, maintaining a corps of resident ambassadors, and coordinating intelligence from abroad. France's Ministère des Affaires Étrangères pioneered the professional diplomatic service that other powers would eventually copy. A properly resourced Foreign Ministry builds prestige through successful negotiation — but an underfunded one produces embarrassments — envoys who cannot afford their households, despatches that go unanswered, and a reputation that suffers accordingly.
