Overview

Effective diplomacy remains fundamental to the conduct of international relations in the twenty-first century, as we seek to define and manage a challenging new world order peacefully. New Perspectives on Diplomacy highlights the importance of diplomacy in political and military crises, featuring details of life as a diplomat, the importance of alliance building, managing failure and diplomatic negotiations with armed groups. Using regional case studies from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Russia and Asia, the second volume demonstrates that the importance of diplomacy and diplomats remains undiminished.

Reviews

This excellent 2-volume set of complementary chapters written by leading experts, an authoritative covering of different approaches and sub-fields of the study of diplomacy, should be the core work underpinning any university course on diplomacy. Outstanding, both in quality and coverage. * Beatrice Heuser, Chair of International Relations, University of Glasgow *
