This book analyzes examples of strategic engagement in order to
identify the factors which contribute to the success or failure of
defence diplomacy in preventing interstate conflict. For more than
a century, nations have engaged in defence diplomacy to cultivate
mutual understanding and mitigate conflict. A subset of defence
diplomacy is strategic engagement, defined as peacetime defence
diplomacy between nations that are actual or potential adversaries.
This book analyzes three cases of strategic engagement in order to
elucidate the factors which contribute to the success or failure of
this diplomacy in preventing conflict. It uses an inductive
framework to compare strategic engagement in the following cases:
Anglo- German defence diplomacy prior to World War I; U.S.-Soviet
defence diplomacy during the Cold War; and post-Cold War U.S.-China
defence diplomacy. Based upon archival, literature, and personal
interview research, the book argues that defence diplomacy can
mitigate the risk of interstate conflict between potential
adversaries. The lessons learned from this book can be employed to
discern the significant elements conducive to achieving a
successful outcome of strategic engagement and averting conflict or
even war. This book will be of much interest to students of defence
studies, diplomacy studies, foreign policy and international
relations.
