Book description
Diplomacy & Statecraft provides an introduction to the theory and practice of modern diplomacy. It draws on the diplomatic practices of the major powers, with a particular focus on Western diplomacy and foreign policy. However, it also examines examples from Asia and elsewhere. The book covers: the historical evolution, the context and legal framework of diplomacy; the key functions it plays; the place of multilateralism; the place of force and coercion in contemporary diplomacy; and the ways in which globalisation is or is not changing modern diplomacy.
While exploring the political, economic and strategic dimensions of modern diplomacy, the role of international relations theory in the practice and analysis of diplomacy is also discussed, delineating the emerging trends in the 21st century.
