Recenzje

"The volume is first and foremost a manual targeted at students, but the quality of the information and the style of the writing can make it equally interesting for both diplomats and general audiences. While the content is heavy, ranging from theoretical debates to diplomatic culture, the tone is light. ... This volume is a valuable contribution to the study and teaching of diplomacy. The information is presented in clear, accessible language ... ." (João Mourato Pinto, The Hague Journal of Diplomacy, Vol. 17, 2022)

Blurb

This book is a comprehensive overview of the theory, history, law, institutional framework and culture of global diplomacy. It reflects on the key existential challenges to the institution and addresses aspects that are often overlooked in diplomatic studies: inter alia diplomatic law, development-driven diplomacy and the bureaucracy of diplomatic practice. All chapters are extensively illustrated with recent case examples from across the world. Special emphasis is placed on incorporating perspectives from Africa and other developing regions in the Global South, so as to balance the Eurocentrism of traditional diplomatic literature.
