Indispensable for students of diplomacy and junior members of diplomatic services, this dictionary not only covers diplomacy's jargon but also includes entries on legal terms, political events, international organizations, e-Diplomacy, and major figures who have occupied the diplomatic scene or have written about it over the last half millennium.
The collection features essays from a prominent writer on diplomacy, offering a critical perspective on contemporary diplomatic practices. It challenges the prevailing belief that novel aspects of diplomacy are paramount, instead utilizing fresh historical research to systematically address previously overlooked questions. This compilation includes three new essays, enriching the discourse on the evolution and significance of diplomatic methods.
