Diplomacy: Theory and Practice

Diplomacy provides an introduction to the origins and different 'modes' of diplomacy within the wider context of international politics and gives special attention to negotiation.
The book is divided into two parts: the modes of diplomacy, including Bilateral and Multilateral diplomacy, Summitry and Mediation; and the Art of Negotiation, including pre-negotiation, 'across-the-table' negotiations, diplomatic momentum and packaging agreements.
Diplomacy provides comprehensive coverage of all the topics relevant to the study of diplomacy. It combines theory with details of how diplomacy and negotiation work in practice, bringing together a wide range of more specialist research to provide an accessible overview of the subject.
Diplomacy is an invaluable text for students, teachers and researchers of international politics.
