Members of the Foreign Service represent the country abroad, protect and support American citizens overseas, manage government programs and facilities, and move foreign policy from the abstract to the actual. In this new and thoroughly revised edition, Foreign Service veterans Harry W. Kopp and John K. Naland lay out what to expect in a Foreign Service career, from the entrance exam through midcareer and into the senior service—how to get in, get around, and get ahead.  Part one begins with the history and structure of the US Foreign Service in the Department of State and other agencies. Part two looks at a number of professional challenges, including how to be a diplomat in a war zone and how to respond when what the government demands conflicts with what the Constitution requires or one’s conscience compels. In part three, the authors explore the trajectory of a Foreign Service career through their own experiences and through interviews with more than a hundred current and former members. Part four brings the discussion up to the present and looks to the future, describing a Service emerging from the Trump years determined to improve diversity in its workforce, protect a high standard of nonpolitical public service, and reward performance with responsibility.  This best-selling guide demystifies the US Foreign Service for those interested in working within or alongside the institution. Kopp and Naland offer readers a candid look at the profession, with its dangers, rewards, challenges, frustrations, and excitement.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49743300395281,"sku":"NGR9781647121358","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51043792421137,"sku":"NIN9781647121358","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52470208758033,"sku":"CIN1647121353VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52530441617681,"sku":"NLS9781647121358","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52815194128657,"sku":"CIN1647121353G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1647121353.jpg?v=1750799799"},{"product_id":"career-diplomacy-book-harry-w-kopp-9781589017405","title":"Career Diplomacy","description":"A guide that examines the foreign service as an institution, a profession, and a career.

Eagleburger praised the first edition of Career Diplomacy (2007) as the best description of life in the foreign service--its challenges, dangers, satisfactions, and fun--I have ever seen. In that book Kopp and Gillespie, both of whom had distinguished careers in the field, provided a candid account of the foreign service, exploring the five career tracks--consular, political, economic, management, and public diplomacy--through their own experience and through interviews with over 85 current and former foreign service officials. This second edition provides significant revisions, supplemented by 20 additional interviews and addressing three great changes that have occurred since 2007: 1) the increasingly important work of foreign service personnel alongside the U.S. military in fragile states threatened with or emerging from combat; 2) the rapid growth of the foreign service in the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the close integration of that agency's budget and mission with those of the U.S. Department of State; 3) the golden moment in 2008 when Congress and the Obama Administration found common cause to improve the foreign service by adding people, training them better, and giving them more money to work with--captured in Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's slogan Diplomacy 3.0, indicating that diplomacy, defense, and development were now equal pillars of American foreign policy. This edition also offers updated data for the 17 tables and figures covering organizational charts, salaries and pay scales, career trajectories, and much more.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49919648301329,"sku":"CIN162616469XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50097355194641,"sku":"CIN162616469XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50748329361681,"sku":"GOR014057681","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/162616469X.jpg?v=1751430738"},{"product_id":"career-diplomacy-book-harry-w-kopp-9781589012196","title":"Career Diplomacy","description":"The U.S. Foreign Service is sometimes derided, often underappreciated, occasionally praised, rarely examined, and almost never understood. And yet whether America's diplomacy succeeds or fails depends to a large extent on its Foreign Service professionals. \"Career Diplomacy\" is an insider's guide that examines the Foreign Service as an institution, a profession, and a career. Harry W. Kopp and Charles A. Gillespie, both of whom had long and distinguished careers in the Foreign Service, provide a full and well-rounded picture of the organization, its place in history, its strengths and weaknesses, and its role in American foreign affairs. Based on their own experiences and through interviews with over 85 current and former Foreign Service officials, the authors lay out what to expect in a Foreign Service career, from the entrance exam through midcareer and into the senior service - how to get in, get around, and get ahead. This book concludes with a stirring chapter on tomorrow's diplomats and the future of the Foreign Service as an institution. Readers will benefit from several appendices, which include a Department of State organization chart, core precepts of the Foreign Service, and internet resources. \"Career Diplomacy\" reveals what America's professional diplomats do and how they do it. It is a rare, first-hand look in to the life and work of this country's professional diplomats, who advance and protect U.S. national security interests around the globe.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49977291145489,"sku":"CIN1589012194G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50953714237713,"sku":"CIN1589012194VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1589012194.jpg?v=1751407912"},{"product_id":"voice-of-the-foreign-service-book-harry-w-kopp-9798988253006","title":"The Voice of the Foreign Service","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe U.S. Foreign Service and the American Foreign Service Association were born together in 1924.
