Diplomacy does not take place simply between states but wherever
people live in different groups. Paul Sharp argues that the demand
for diplomacy, and the need for the insights of diplomatic theory,
are on the rise. In contrast to conventional texts which use
international relations theories to make sense of what diplomacy
and diplomats do, this book explores what diplomacy and diplomats
can contribute to the big theoretical and practical debates in
international relations today. Sharp identifies a diplomatic
tradition of international thought premised on the way people live
in groups, the differences between intra- and inter-group
relations, and the perspectives which those who handle inter-group
relations develop about the sorts of international disputes which
occur. He argues that the lessons of diplomacy are that we should
be reluctant to judge, ready to appease, and alert to the partial
grounds on which most universal claims about human beings are made.
