An all-new edition of the candid insiders' guide to the US Foreign
Service as an institution, a profession, and a career Career
Diplomacy takes readers inside the world of American diplomats in
the US Foreign Service. Members of the Foreign Service represent
the country abroad, protect and support American citizens overseas,
manage government programs and facilities, and move foreign policy
from the abstract to the actual. In this new and thoroughly revised
edition, Foreign Service veterans Harry W. Kopp and John K. Naland
lay out what to expect in a Foreign Service career, from the
entrance exam through midcareer and into the senior service-how to
get in, get around, and get ahead. Part one begins with the history
and structure of the US Foreign Service in the Department of State
and other agencies. Part two looks at a number of professional
challenges, including how to be a diplomat in a war zone and how to
respond when what the government demands conflicts with what the
Constitution requires or one's conscience compels. In part three,
the authors explore the trajectory of a Foreign Service career
through their own experiences and through interviews with more than
a hundred current and former members. Part four brings the
discussion up to the present and looks to the future, describing a
Service emerging from the Trump years determined to improve
diversity in its workforce, protect a high standard of nonpolitical
public service, and reward performance with responsibility. This
best-selling guide demystifies the US Foreign Service for those
interested in working within or alongside the institution. Kopp and
Naland offer readers a candid look at the profession, with its
dangers, rewards, challenges, frustrations, and excitement.
