The Practice of Diplomacy by Langhorne
In the unstable international conditions of the post Cold War world, the role of diplomacy has taken on increasing importance with the greater complexity of relationships between international power centres. The Practice of Diplomacy tracks the historical development of diplomatic relations and methods from the earliest period up to their current transformations in the late twentieth century, showing how they have changed to encompass new technological advances and the needs of modern international environments. This coherent and accessible text brings the history of diplomacy fully up to date, exploring altered perspectives and newly emerging practices resulting from United Nations diplomacy and recent political developments in Eastern and central Europe, including the former Yugoslavia.Keith Hamilton is a consultant historian in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, where he was formerly a senior editor of the series Documents on British Policy Overseas. His most recent publications include (co-edited with Patrick Salmon) Slavery, Diplomacy and Empire: Britain and the Suppression of the Slave Trade, 1807-1975 (2009); and (co-authored with Richard Langhorne) The Practice of Diplomacy: Its Evolution, Theory and Administration (2011).
