The adoption by diplomats of the point of view of the government of the receiving state, traditionally assumed to be the result of having been posted there for too long. Sometimes known as ‘going native’, this is the chief reason why diplomats now tend, at some cost in the waste of acquired expertise, to be rotated between different regions and not spend longer than three or four years at the same post. Another reason for short terms of duty in some posts is ‘anti- localitis’, the opposite of localitis. This is the adoption by diplomats of an attitude of undiscriminating hostility to the interests and policies of the host state, caused by unfriendly treatment or harsh or primitive conditions of life in the state concerned. See also hardship post. |
