Reviews
"One truly gets a feel for the dramatic transformation diplomacy has been undergoing in recent times compared to what it used to be in the past. The challenges and uncertainties of diplomacy in a less state-centric world are presented forcefully and effectively." --Renato Corbetta, University of Alabama at Birmingham"I am greatly impressed by the range of subjects covered in the book, including some where it is difficult to find adequate literature. I commend the co-authors for bringing together a wide range of expertise on the various issues in the expanding discipline of the Practice of Diplomacy." --Rajendra Abhyankar, Indiana University, Bloomington"The second edition of Diplomacy in a Globalizing World includes three new chapters that further justify the book's already established place as a major text, bringing much-needed focus to an often-neglected component of international politics. Diplomacy is critical for the twenty-first-century world, and this insightful book illuminates the challenges and benefits of diplomatic solutions for a changing world order." --Nicholas Burns, Harvard University, former U.S. Under Secretary of State"The ever-changing landscape of world politics--the convergence of national-regional-global issues, transformative communication technologies, the rise of populism, and the resultant assault on the efficacy of diplomacy--reminds us that diplomacy requires constant vigilance, making the second edition of Diplomacy in a Globalizing World essential reading for us all." --R.M. Marty M. Natalegawa, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Indonesia (2009-2014)
