如今，各地区的外交活动无论在数量上还是质量上都在不断增加。本文研究了区域次国家实体作为外交行为体的出现，并对魁北克、苏格兰、巴伐利亚、加泰罗尼亚、瓦隆和弗兰德斯的对外关系进行了深入的比较研究。研究了以下方面：（1）外交政策的定义;（2）所使用的外交工具;（3）外交事务的组织结构和运作;以及（4）驻外代表机构的性质。基于对经验数据的比较研究，本文认为，外交（由国家产生）和次国家外交之间的界限正在明显淡化。
Regions are nowadays generating an increasing amount of diplomatic activity, both in quantitative and qualitative terms. This article studies the emergence of regional sub-state entities as diplomatic actors, and an in-depth comparative study is made of the external relations of Quebec, Scotland, Bavaria, Catalonia, Wallonia and Flanders. The following dimensions are studied: (1) the definition of foreign policy; (2) the diplomatic instruments that are utilized; (3) the organizational structure and operation of foreign affairs; and (4) the character of the representations abroad. Based upon a comparative study of the empirical data, the article argues that boundaries between diplomacy (as generated by states) and sub-state diplomacy are visibly watering down.
