This book explores the growing importance of subnational diplomacy
by examining the state of California. As the fifth largest economy
in the world, California's tribes, counties, cities and the state
itself are changing the shape of diplomatic theory and practice and
defining what it means to be a 'global' state. As both a
theoretical text and a practical guide, this book offers a current
snapshot of California, then connects this narrative to the
fundamental international relations concepts of diplomacy and
sovereignty and the working assumptions of professionals in the
field. Through interviews with those representing all of the
entities of the state - as well as the diplomats sent to the United
States to represent the interests of their home countries - Holmes
creates what she calls the 'vertical axis of diplomacy', providing
context and depth to a (re)emerging form of diplomacy, increasingly
relevant in this pandemic moment.
Leading scholars explore the role played by the American Embassy in
London and the US Ambassador to the Court of St James's, not only
in bilateral UK-US relations, but also in wider international
issues over the years the Embassy has been in Grosvenor Square.
This volume covers the period from 1938 to 2008, effectively the
lifespan of what has often been termed "the special relationship,"
from its birth in the Second World War, through the challenges of
the Cold War to the present day.
Debates about the "specialness" of the relationship in the post-war
context are key, as are discussions about the impact of the
development and demise of the "Cold War," the ongoing impact of
European integration, the influence of nuclear weapons and NATO,
and wider economic, cultural, demographic and environmental forces
that have shaped the transatlantic relationship to arguably form
the basis of a new model of "transatlantic diplomacy."
In a field dominated by the history and practices of Western
states, Global Diplomacy expands the mainstream discourse on
diplomacy to include non-Western states and states in all stages of
development. By presenting a broader view of this crucial
institution, this exciting text cultivates a more global
understanding of the ways in which diplomacy is conducted in the
world today and offers a new perspective on the ways it may
continue to develop in the future.This book presents; a brief
introduction to diplomatic practice, the classic diplomatic
narrative, and different theories of diplomacy; an exploration of
diplomacy over time and place through four types of
diplomacy-political, cultural, economic, and military-discussed by
guest authors who are experts in their respective fields; three new
models of diplomatic interaction-Community, Transatlantic, and
Relational-illustrated through the examples of the European Union,
UK and US relations, and the rising powers of India and China.
