Track Two diplomacy consists of informal dialogues among actors
such as academics, religious leaders, retired senior officials, and
NGO officials that can bring new ideas and new relationships to the
official process of diplomacy. Sadly, those involved in official
diplomacy often have little understanding of and appreciation for
the complex and nuanced role that Track Two can play, or for its
limitations. And many Track Two practitioners are often unaware of
the realities and pressures of the policy and diplomatic worlds,
and not particularly adept at framing their efforts to make them
accessible to hard-pressed officials. At the same time, those
interested in the academic study of Track Two sometimes fail to
understand the realities faced by either set of practitioners. A
need therefore exists for a work to bridge the divides between
these constituencies and between the different types of Track Two
practice-and this book crosses disciplines and traditions in order
to do just that. It explores the various dimensions and guises of
Track Two, the theory and practice of how they work, and how both
practitioners and academics could more profitably assess Track Two.
Overall, it provides a comprehensive picture of the range of
activities pursued under this title, to provoke new thinking about
how these activities relate to each other, to official diplomacy,
and to academe.
