Diplomatic history explores the management of relations between
nation-states by the process of negotiations. From the diplomacy of
the American Revolution, the diplomatic origins of the Great War
and its aftermath, Versailles, and the personal summitry behind the
night Stalin and Churchill Divided Europe, to George W. Bush and
the Iraq War, and diplomacy in the age of globalization, the
management of power relationships has had an immense impact on our
recent history. This Very Short Introduction updates the former
Diplomacy: A Very Short Introduction and illustrates international
diplomacy in action, exploring the changes in method at key
historical junctures, and highlighting the very different demands
that circumstances make on the practice of diplomats. Drawing on
the case studies above, it makes sense of the way in which skilful
diplomacy, as well as hubris, rashness, and excessive caution, can
have important ramifications for the fate of nations. Based on the
experiences of diplomatic history, it also locates the universal
role of negotiations and identifies the key elements of success. As
Joseph M. Siracusa shows, diplomacy was and is an indispensable
element of statecraft, and without skilful diplomacy political
success may remain elusive. Very Short Introductions: Brilliant,
