A term owing its origin to the frenetic diplomatic style of Henry Kissinger following the October War of 1973. Urgently seeking to promote the disengagement of Israeli forces from Egyptian and Syrian territory, the number of flights between the capitals of the parties which he made during two periods over the next seven months in pursuit of such a limited objective was probably unprecedented for anyone of his seniority in the government of a major power. The term ‘shuttle’, once applied to this activity by the New York Times in January 1974, seemed to fit it to perfection and it stuck. It has also been retrospectively applied to the urgent (and successful) efforts of the American mediator Cyrus Vance, in respect of the 1967 crisis over Cyprus that almost brought Greece and Turkey to war. |
