In a field dominated by the history and practices of Western states, Global Diplomacy expands the mainstream discourse on diplomacy to include non-Western states and states in all stages of development. By presenting a broader view of this crucial institution, this exciting text cultivates a more global understanding of the ways in which diplomacy is conducted in the world today and offers a new perspective on the ways it may continue to develop in the future.

This book presents; a brief introduction to diplomatic practice, the classic diplomatic narrative, and different theories of diplomacy; an exploration of diplomacy over time and place through four types of diplomacy-political, cultural, economic, and military-discussed by guest authors who are experts in their respective fields; three new models of diplomatic interaction-Community, Transatlantic, and Relational-illustrated through the examples of the European Union, UK and US relations, and the rising powers of India and China.

Reviews

"Global Diplomacy is a fascinating account of an important development on the diplomatic stage: the cast of characters is lengthening, and states are no longer guaranteed the starring roles." --David Clinton, Baylor University "Global Diplomacy is both challenging and rewarding. The essential character of what diplomacy does is unchanging, the authors argue, but how it is done, and by whom are both greatly dependent on the contexts of time and place in which diplomacy is undertaken." --Paul Sharp, University of Minnesota Duluth
