On the Way to Diplomacy

What does theory have to do with the concept - let alone the practice - of diplomacy? More than we might think, a Costas M. Constantinou amply demonstrates in this provocative reconsideration of both the concept of diplomacy and the working of theory.

Summary

This work provides a deconstruction of the idea of diplomacy that explores the links between its theory and practice. The author focuses on the language that underwrites and directs the theory and diplomacy, and shows that such a critical approach is actually a way of practising politics.
