This book informs students about the practice of modern diplomacy
while simultaneously inviting them to critically reflect on it. The
work introduces the world of diplomacy from a practitioner's point
of view. Rather than listening to what diplomats say they do, the
book looks at what they actually do. Diplomacy is thus approached
through the lenses of its manifold practices: from political
analysis to policy-shaping, from conflict prevention over
conflict-management to conflict-resolution. However, the book not
only aims at informing or instructing but also, and primarily,
wants its readers to critically reflect on diplomacy. It reviews
received ideas by posing questions such as: what does 'preventive
diplomacy' really mean?; what is the place of 'transparency' in
diplomatic practice?; why is the relationship between 'law and
diplomacy' ambiguous?; how come that our leaders have such a
difficult time in credibly defending 'human rights'?; and why is
conducting an 'ethical foreign policy' a mission impossible? To
tackle these and other questions, the book uses the tools of
contemporary academic disciplines, such as behavioural economics,
game theory, social psychology, argumentation theory, and practical
logic, among others. This interdisciplinary approach brings fresh
perspective to a field of study that has long remained
self-contained. This book will be of great interest to students of
diplomacy, foreign policy, and International Relations, as well as
those seeking a career in diplomacy and existing diplomatic
practitioners and international analysts.
