Understanding International Diplomacy: Theory, Practice and Ethics
This book provides a comprehensive new introduction to the study of international diplomacy, covering both theory and practice
The text summarises and discusses the major trends in the field of diplomacy, developing an innovative analytical toolbox for understanding diplomacy not as a collection of practices or a set of historical traditions, but as a form of institutionalised communication through which authorised representatives produce, manage and distribute public goods The book:
traces the evolution of diplomacy from its beginnings in ancient Egypt, Greece and China to our current age of global diplomacy;
examines theoretical explanations about how diplomats take decisions, make relations and shape the world;
discusses normative approaches to how diplomacy ought to adapt itself to the twenty-first century, help remake states and assist the peaceful evolution of international order
In sum, Understanding International Diplomacy provides an up-to-date, accessible and authoritative overview of how diplomacy works and ought to work in a globalising world
This new textbook is essential reading for students of international diplomacy, and highly recommended for students of crisis negotiation, international organisations, foreign policy and international relations in general

Japanese Diplomacy: The Role of Leadership (Suny Series, James N Rosenau Series in Global Politics)
Groundbreaking study demonstrating how Japan’s leaders play an important role in diplomacy
A political leader is most often a nation’s most high-profile foreign policy figure, its chief diplomat But how do individual leadership styles, personalities, perceptions, or beliefs shape diplomacy? In Japanese Diplomacy, the question of what role leadership plays in diplomacy is applied to Japan, a country where the individual is often viewed as being at the mercy of the group and where prime ministers have been largely thought of as reactive and weak In challenging earlier, simplified ideas of Japanese political leadership, H D P Envall argues that Japan’s leaders, from early Cold War figures such as Yoshida Shigeru to the charismatic and innovative Koizumi Jun’ichirō to the present leadership of Abe Shinzō, have pursued leadership strategies of varying coherence and rationality, often independent of their political environment He also finds that different Japanese leaders have shaped Japanese diplomacy in some important and underappreciated ways In certain environments, individual difference has played a significant role in determining Japan’s diplomacy, both in terms of the country’s strategic identity and summit diplomacy What emerges from Japanese Diplomacy, therefore, is a more nuanced overall picture of Japanese leadership in foreign affairs
