- Written by an internationally recognized expert in the field of diplomacy
- Accessible introduction of some of the most important, common, and recurring themes in diplomacy and its effect on the modern world
- Taken from a historical perspective, using case studies to define and illuminate examples of diplomacy in action, showing the developments in the evolution of diplomacy
Like making war, diplomacy has been around a very long time, at least since the Bronze Age. It was primitive by today's standards, there were few rules, but it was a recognizable form of diplomacy. Since then, diplomacy has evolved greatly, coming to mean different things, to different persons, at different times, ranging from the elegant to the inelegant. Whatever one's definition, few could doubt that the course and consequences of the major events of modern international diplomacy have shaped and changed the global world in which we live. Joseph M.
Siracusa introduces the subject of diplomacy from a historical perspective, providing examples from significant historical phases and episodes to illustrate the art of diplomacy in action.Readership: General readers and students of diplomacy, defence, civil society, politics, and international relations, as well as executives in the corporate world seeking a brief understanding of diplomacy.
