Book excerpt: Contemporary Diplomacy offers a comprehensive introduction to the changing actors, venues, processes and functions of diplomacy in the 21st Century. Aimed at students and practitioners alike, this textbook explores the critical theoretical tools that can be employed to understand diplomacy and its evolution since the end of the Cold War. It also shows how the study of diplomacy can contribute to the analysis of 21st Century conflict and international relations more broadly. The book is divided into 2 main parts: part I focuses on diplomatic actors and venues: from the traditional nation-state actors of classical diplomatic studies to newer types of actor, such as multilateral organizations, supranational polities, global firms, civil society organizations and eminent person diplomats. Part II examines diplomatic processes and functions, reconsidering the core diplomatic functions of representation and communication in light of new communications technologies and the increased importance of public diplomacy. It looks in-depth at specific functional areas of diplomacy - including economic, military and security, and cultural diplomacy Ð and how they are managed. The concluding chapter reflects more broadly on the relationship of diplomatic theory to practice and considers the range of challenges facing diplomats today. This book will be essential reading for students of diplomacy, politics, international relations and conflict studies.

Book excerpt: 'Kissinger's absorbing book tackles head-on some of the toughest questions of our time . . . Its pages sparkle with insight' Simon Schama in the NEW YORKER Spanning more than three centuries, from Cardinal Richelieu to the fragility of the 'New World Order', DIPLOMACY is the now-classic history of international relations by the former Secretary of State and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Kissinger's intimate portraits of world leaders, many from personal experience, provide the reader with a unique insight into what really goes on -- and why -- behind the closed doors of the corridors of power. 'Budding diplomats and politicians should read it as avidly as their predecessors read Machiavelli' Douglas Hurd in the DAILY TELEGRAPH 'If you want to pay someone a compliment, give them Henry Kissinger's DIPLOMACY ... It is certainly one of the best, and most enjoyable [books] on international relations past and present ... DIPLOMACY should be read for the sheer historical sweep, the characterisations, the story-telling, the ability to look at large parts of the world as a whole' Malcolm Rutherford in the FINANCIAL TIMES

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tact and DiplomacyHave you ever said or done anything at work you later regretted? Maybe it caused embarrassment or loss of respect. Perhaps it even directly affected your job. Don't worry, you aren't the first person who's done this. But there are people who always seem to communicate with diplomacy and tact. What are the secrets to their success?People who communicate with tact and diplomacy show sensitivity and respect to others. But that's not all. They also understand that each and every situation is different. The message has to be packaged according to who's receiving it and where the interaction takes place.This course details the characteristics of tact and diplomacy so you may apply them in any situation. You'll learn how to communicate effectively with people by considering their communication style preferences. You'll explore how to do this in specific professional relationships with superiors, subordinates, coworkers, and customers. Once you've figured out the right thing to say, you'll also learn about the right places to say it.Strategies for Communicating with Tact and DiplomacyWith tact and diplomacy, workplace relationships are nurtured and can develop into meaningful connections. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true. If communication is tactless or undiplomatic, relationships suffer - or may never even get off the ground. To communicate with tact and diplomacy, you need strategies, skills, and awareness. Too often, emotional reactions and misinterpretations get in the way of tactful and diplomatic communication.In this course, you'll learn how to communicate and develop relationships with tact and diplomacy. You'll also be given the opportunity to apply specific guidelines in a realistic scenario.In order to develop and nurture professional relationships, you first need to build trust and rapport. Building trust is about integrity and honesty, while building rapport means finding common ground with another person. An effective way to build trust and rapport is to communicate with tact and diplomacy.Tact comes down to recognizing the sensitivity in a situation and ensuring that whatever you say is appropriate. It enables you to assert yourself, without offending anyone.Diplomacy comes down to being "political" or "politically correct." It requires, for example, that you take account of an organization's corporate culture when communicating.Even though tact and diplomacy are two distinct aspects of communicating, you need to bring both together to communicate effectively.This course will introduce you to techniques that will help you to navigate conversations in a way that's sensitive and respectful. It will demonstrate proper timing and delivery when communicating. This will enable you to deliver messages tactfully and diplomatically, without sacrificing your reputation or professional relationships.Delivering a Difficult Message with Diplomacy and TactHow many times have you been stressed or concerned about delivering a message in the workplace? There will inevitably be difficult conversations in the workplace - either with your supervisor, a colleague, or subordinate - that you'll want to avoid. This may cause you to procrastinate or avoid issues.Delivering a difficult message with diplomacy and tact will help prevent conflict and avoid hurting the other person's feelings. This, in turn, helps reduce any anxiety you may be feeling about delivering the difficult message.There are two main types of difficult messages in the workplace. The first involves giving bad news and the second involves requesting a change in behavior of another person. Regardless of the context, it's best to carefully plan its delivery. You should prepare the key message in advance and practice the delivery of the message.

This book was released on 2022-11-23 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the understudied phenomenon of why and how contemporary international higher education, research and innovation can contribute to strengthening international relations. The author proposes the concept of knowledge diplomacy and carefully examines its fundamental rationales, actors, principles, instruments, and strategies. This is the first book that compares the similarities and differences between knowledge diplomacy and related terms such as soft power, cultural diplomacy, science diplomacy and public diplomacy to capture the expanding role of international higher education and research in bilateral and multilateral relations. The analysis of initiatives from around the world helps to ground and illustrate the key features of a knowledge diplomacy approach. "This book makes a highly original and important contribution to the study of knowledge diplomacy and soft power. It brings together the latest thinking and trends in the study of contemporary diplomacy and international higher education. The author is well known for the clarity and perspicacity of her definitions and analysis and this applies to her in-depth examination of knowledge diplomacy which she convincingly distinguishes from soft power and other forms of diplomacy. The discussion of issues and challenges which require further exploration and research will be valuable to international relations and international higher education scholars, policy makers and students.” Professor Ruth Hayhoe, University of Toronto, and President Emerita, the Education University of Hong Kong "This timely book offers a sound framework for studying the expanding role of higher education, research and innovation in international relations. A key strength is that viewpoints and experiences from all of the world’s regions have been included in this lucid, interdisciplinary contribution to our understanding of knowledge diplomacy.” Professor Jan Melissen, Leiden University and University of Antwerp, Editor-in-Chief The Hague Journal of Diplomacy “This is a must-read book for scholars, policy makers and diplomats who want to understand how international higher education, research and innovation can help to address the complexities of contemporary global challenges through knowledge diplomacy.".

New phenomena linked to digitalization and artificial intelligence are emerging and this volume brings a multidisciplinary, mixed-methods approach to studying them. Written by globally recognized experts, each chapter presents a case study covering an emerging topic such as: international regulation of the web and digital diplomacy, the interplay of artificial intelligence and cyber diplomacy, social media and artificial intelligence as tools for digital diplomacy, the malicious use of artificial intelligence, cyber security, and data sovereignty. Incorporating both theory and practice, quantitative and qualitative analysis, this volume will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in international relations, diplomacy, security studies, and artificial intelligence, as well as diplomats and policymakers looking to understand the implications of digitalization and artificial intelligence in their fields.
