Diplomacy; Diplomatic law

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 examines the implications of the shifting international landscape upon how states interact with one another. Reflecting on the significant changes to the system of states over the past 50 years, including the end of the Cold War, the rise of transnational networks, challenges to borders, growth in national populism and the increasing difficulties presented to diplomats by radical transparency, the first volume presents the global context against which contemporary diplomacy is conducted.

Reviews for A New Theory and Practice of Diplomacy: New Perspectives on Diplomacy

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 *
