Summary
Details

Issues in Contemporary Diplomacy (I): The Art of Diplomacy - Its Development and Modern Forms represents a scholarly examination of diplomatic evolution, published by Global East-West London in collaboration with The Diplomatic Institute, Doha. Author Hichem Karoui delivers a meticulously researched analysis of how diplomatic practices have developed from ancient times through contemporary digital transformation. This authoritative text traces diplomacy's journey through pivotal historical periods, examining how the Middle Ages, European Renaissance, Industrial Revolution, and 20th-century conflicts have shaped modern diplomatic methodology. The volume systematically explores diverse diplomatic forms: traditional protocols, public diplomacy's role in shaping global opinion, economic negotiations between major powers, cultural diplomacy's impact on international relations, and the revolutionary effects of digital technology on diplomatic communication.

Particularly valuable for academic institutions and professional development programmes, the book addresses emerging diplomatic players, including NGOs and multinational corporations, whilst examining multilateral diplomacy within international organisations. Each chapter concludes with comprehensive notes and references, ensuring scholarly rigour.

Ambassador Dr Abdulaziz Al-Hurr's foreword emphasises the work's significance for diplomatic training, specifically designed to support Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel and international relations students. The Diplomatic Institute's commitment to building specialised diplomatic literature makes this volume essential for professional libraries and academic collections.

From environmental diplomacy addressing contemporary challenges to crisis management strategies, the book provides practical insights into diplomatic successes and failures. This comprehensive resource bridges historical understanding with modern application, making complex diplomatic concepts accessible to both practitioners and scholars. As the first volume in a trilogy, it establishes the foundation for understanding contemporary diplomatic challenges and opportunities in our interconnected world.
