Read the complete article Holy See diplomacy from Vatican Information Service.
In 'International Politics', a course taught by Professor Hall at the University of Iowa, the primary text was Professor Hall's own book.

In reading Archbishop Lajolo's speech on the topic of the diplomacy of the Holy See, those divisions came to mind as the archbishop mentioned various treaties and how they changed in form and subject over time with the changing of the types of government with which the Holy See interacted.
