"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
