Choice Outstanding Academic Book!
This comprehensive text accessibly covers the evolution, politics, and practice of diplomacy.
Leguey-Feilleux first provides a solid grounding in the history of traditional diplomacy, beginning with ancient times. He then reviews the forces of contemporary change—dramatic developments in both international politics and the realm of technology—that have affected the practice of diplomacy and explores the full range of diplomatic modes. How much of traditional diplomacy remains relevant today, he helps us to assess. How much of it is being drastically changed, and how do those changes affect both the profession and the conduct of foreign relations? Designed to be both authoritative and engaging, and with abundant in-depth case studies, The Dynamics of Diplomacy provides readers with a thorough understanding of all that contemporary diplomacy entails.
