ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon British Diplomacy and the Concept of the Eastern
Book SynopsisJeziornys gripping book explores British diplomatic relations in the years of 19331935, illuminating Londons attitude towards the Eastern Pact and highlighting the way of thinking and acting of British diplomacy towards the European and even global situation. Was His Majestys Government interested in the success of the initiative promoted by Moscow and Paris? Did they understand the motives of the promoteurs? How did they react to the resistance of countries unwilling to accept such an issue? Who were Londons main partners to negotiate with? Could the Foreign Office be regarded competent in dealing with European problems, especially Eastern European ones? Were the former conclusions of the academic literature correct in assessing the particular powers role in the failure of the concept of the Eastern Pact? Jeziorny provides answers to these questions through detailed analysis of governmental materials available in The National Archives in London, particularly the general correspondence of the British Foreign Office at this time. A fascinating look behind the scenes of British diplomacy and its attitudes toward the French initiative.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon Ukraine: Putin’s War for Russia’s “Near Abroad”:
Book SynopsisRetired US Ambassador John J. Maresca draws on his personal papers to offer a first-hand account of his role in negotiating the end of the Cold War with the USSR. As a special American Ambassadorial envoy, he symbolically opened direct US diplomatic relations with each of the newly independent states from the former USSR following its dissolution. He recounts the situation in the region during that period, and how it has evolved into the situation of today. Maresca analyzes Putin's role and objectives, and concludes that the USA and the West in general must steadfastly oppose Putin's on-going effort to re-assemble Moscowʼs control over the full geographic scope of what was the USSR, starting with Ukraine.

NIAS Press Dialogue with North Korea?: Preconditions for
Book SynopsisThere is hardly another country as isolated and with such a bleak image as North Korea. It is portrayed in the Western media as a Hermit Kingdom ruled by an outdated, communist dictatorship whose clandestine nuclear programmes alarm its neighbours and which uses dreadful labour camps to control a population wracked by famine. The regime's poor track record on human rights is stressed time and again by both Western governments and international organizations. Prospects look bleak for any improvement in relations let alone the start of a dialogue on human rights. Offering a rare, nuanced analysis of the North Korean situation, this short study argues that not only is a constructive and fruitful dialogue on human rights possible but also it is desirable for both parties. New perspectives are provided on what is generally perceived about North Korea, its relationship to the international human rights regime, the rationales that underpin decision-making in international relations, and the perceptions and expectations of people occupying official positions in the DPRK bureaucracy. The authors also draw from concrete experiences to give some suggestions to how a dialogue could be established and in what specific areas it is realistic. Here they point to valuable lessons to be learned from the dialogue so far between North Korea and the UN Human Rights regime as well as from the experiences of the already established EU-China human rights dialogue.

NIAS Press East-West Reflections on Demonization: North
Book SynopsisAlthough the rapid spread worldwide of the coronavirus in 2020 focused minds everywhere on the dangers of a global pandemic, other dangers facing the world have not diminished. Failure to resolve issues relating to the divided Korean peninsula is one of these. Great concern has long been expressed in several quarters about the behavior and ambitions of the reclusive North Korean regime. Often it is presented in Western media as an especially brutal dictatorship whose aggressive expansionist dreams pose a threat to world peace. Others question this one-dimensional picture and argue that a process of selective demonization is at work. In this thoughtful volume, 18 engaged scholars from Asia, the United States and Europe with first-hand knowledge about and experiences in Korea, North and South, share their insights and suggestions with concerned readers worldwide. They strive to get beyond the everyday rhetoric clouding the situation and address the demonization issue, exploring its different aspects from Western and Eastern perspectives. Their approach is to treat the Korean conflict as a multidimensional problem, with historical roots, cross-cultural and political-ideological perspectives, and not least with consequences far beyond the region where it takes place. North Korea is not the only country in the cross-hairs of heavyweight media organizations. The intensifying great power struggle between China and the United States is being played out on television, online and in the print media of both countries and beyond. The volume thus concludes by drawing into its consideration this developing conflict in which the two Koreas play a minor, almost bystander role. As such, as well as providing engaged readers with a more nuanced treatment of the issues, this collection offers important insights to journalists, officials and decision-makers around the world.

Brill Debating Public Diplomacy: Now and Next
Book SynopsisThis book is a much-needed update on our understanding of public diplomacy. It intends to stimulate new thinking on what is one of the most remarkable recent developments in diplomatic practice that has challenged practitioners as much as scholars. Thought-leaders and up-and-coming authors in Debating Public Diplomacy agree that official efforts to create and maintain relationships with publics in other societies encounter unprecedented and often unexpected difficulties. Resurgent geo-strategic rivalry and technological change affecting state-society relations are among the factors complicating international relationships in a much more citizen-centric world. This book discusses today’s most pressing public diplomacy challenges, including recent sharp power campaigns, the rise of populism, the politicization of diaspora relations, deep-rooted nation-state-based perspectives on culture, and public diplomacy’s contribution to counterterrorism. With influential academic voices exploring policy implications for tomorrow, this collection of essays is also forward-looking by examining unfolding trends in public diplomacy strategies and practices. Originally published as Volume 14, Nos. 1-2 (2019) pp. 1-197 in Brill’s journal The Hague Journal of Diplomacy.

Amsterdam University Press Bombs for Peace: NATO's Humanitarian War on
Book SynopsisThis illuminating study describes the genesis of the contemporary doctrine of humanitarian intervention. It is the first comprehensive analysis of Western policy towards the Balkans from the late 1980s on. Previous works have often taken partisan approaches focusing on isolated events rather than the multifaceted conflict of which such events were a part. Though scholarly, the book will also appeal to a wider audience interested in world affairs.Trade ReviewThis book is an important re-analysis of the propaganda and self-serving deceptions that were used by NATO governments and major human rights organizations during the Yugoslav conflicts, in order to justify waging an aggressive war against Serbia that was against the foundational principles of the UN Charter and even of NATO’s own charter. The dominant NATO member states gained geopolitical and economic advantages through mounting an aggressive war, while the human rights organizations increased greatly their incomes, access to resources from NATO governments, and the kind of power to provoke war that, inevitably, corrupts those who claim to be following humanitarian ideals. The work is based on substantial research, much of it drawing on the very sources that the protagonists of “humanitarian war” had used to justify their turn to aggression, and showing the falseness, inconsistency and even duplicity of the latters’ arguments. At the same time, the book is in no sense an apology for the actions of the Serbian regime under Slobodan Milo¿evic, making it clear that the charge that to oppose NATO was to support Slobo was as false as the rest of the propaganda behind aggression disguised as humanitarianism. As the NATO actions against Libya show, the precedents created in the interventions in Yugoslavia are still dangerous, not only to regional stability but to the very people who supposedly are to benefit from being subjected to humanitarian warfare. Robert M. Hayden University of Pittsburgh [author of Blueprints for a House Divided: The Constitutional Logic of the Yugoslav Conflicts (University of Michigan Press, 1999) and From Yugoslavia to the Western Balkans: Studies of a European Disunion, 1991-2011 (Brill, 2013)] 'Laced with lacerating humor, Bombs for Peace is particularly effective in its deconstruction of Western rhetoric. [...] With sweeping eloquence, Szamuely argues his points in a compelling and authoritative manner, exposing the mendacity of the proponents of war.' - Gregory Elich, Monthly Review

United Nations Economic development in Africa report 2018: made
Book SynopsisThe advent of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) represents a historic opportunity for the continent to boost intra-African trade and accelerate structural transformation. However, this relies on a critical policy instrument: the effective implementation of preferential trade liberalisation among the AfCFTA members. Whether in practice African firms will utilize tariff preferences under the AfCFTA depends on a critical factor: rules of origin (RoO) and the net benefits of complying with them. The Economic Development in Africa Report 2019 argues for the adoption of flexible RoO and a strengthening of institutional capacities to ensure an impartial, transparent, predictable, consistent and neutral implementation of agreed rules of origin

HarperCollins India After Tiananmen: The Rise of China
Book SynopsisOn a snowy day in January 1998 Xu Zengping, a Chinese businessman based out of Hong Kong, stood on the deck of the Varyag, a partially constructed aircraft carrier that was being built by the Soviet Union at a shipyard on the Black Sea. Six years later, Xu had apparently bought it for US$ 20 million. It was reported that his firm had no licence, no real address and assets of only US$ 125,000, so it is unclear how it could afford to buy the ship. The report concluded that the Varyag had been bought by the PLA Navy for copying its technology. After the end of the Cold War, China was faced with fundamental challenges - and had to make some critical choices. After Tiananmen: The Rise of China is the story of how it handled its complex domestic and external environment while silently ascending the hierarchy of world power. The book traces the developments in contemporary China from 1989 to 2010, delving into the country''s initial political and economic experiments. It examines the adeptness with which challenges like the ''Malacca Dilemma'' and the resources crunch shaped Chinese policies; how, in the process, the very character of the Chinese Communist Party was fundamentally transformed; and the twists and turns in India''s relationship with China. The sequel to Tiananmen Square: The Making of a Protest, this is an essential primer for those who wish to understand China''s behaviour today.

Amsterdam University Press Political Communication in Chinese and European
Book SynopsisBased on a collaboration between historians of Chinese and European politics, Political Communication in Chinese and European History, 800-1600 offers a first comprehensive overview of current research on political communication in middle-period European and Chinese history. The chapters present new work on the sources and processes of political communication in European and Chinese history partly through juxtaposing and combining formerly separate historiographies and partly through direct comparison. Contrary to earlier comparative work on empires and state formation, which aimed to explain similarities and differences with encompassing models and new theories of divergence, the goal is to further conversations between historians by engaging regional historiographies from the bottom up.Table of ContentsACKNOWLEDGMENTS INTRODUCTION (Hilde DE WEERDT and Franz-Julius MORCHE) PART I: COMMUNICATION AND THE FORMATION OF POLITIES 1 TOWARDS A COMPARATIVE HISTORY OF POLITICAL COMMUNICATION, C.1000-1500 (Hilde DE WEERDT and John WATTS) 2 ADMINISTRATIVE ELITES AND POLITICAL CHANGE (Christian LAMOUROUX and Filippo RONCONI) 2.1 FRAGMENTATION AND FINANCIAL RECENTRALIZATION: THE EMERGENCE OF THE FOUR GENERAL COMMANDS (1127-1165) (Christian LAMOUROUX) 2.2 ADMINISTRATIVE ELITES AND THE 'FIRST PHASE OF BYZANTINE HUMANISM': THE ADOPTION OF THE MINUSCULE IN BOOK PRODUCTION AND THE ROLE OF THE STOUDIOS MONASTERY (Filippo RONCONI) 3 LANGUAGE AND POLITICAL COMMUNICATION IN FRANCE AND ENGLAND (TWELFTH TO FIFTEENTH CENTURIES) (Jean-Philippe GENET) PART II: LETTERS AND POLITICAL LANGUAGES 4 POLITICAL COMMUNICATIONS, NETWORKS AND TEXTUAL EVIDENCE: A CROSS-CULTURAL COMPARATIVE APPROACH TO WRITTEN SOURCES USING LETTER COLLECTIONS (Julian HASELDINE) 5 LATIN AND CLASSICAL CHINESE EPISTOLOGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE (Beverly BOSSLER and Benoît GRÉVIN) 6 YAO MIAN'S LETTERS: THE EPISTOLARY NETWORKS OF A LATE SONG LITERATUS (Beverly BOSSLER) PART III: COMMUNICATION AND POLITICAL AUTHORITY 7 COMMUNICATION AND EMPIRE: BYZANTIUM IN PERSPECTIVE (Mark WHITTOW (¿)) 8 GIVING THE PUBLIC DUE NOTICE IN SONG CHINA AND RENAISSANCE ROME (Patricia EBREY and Margaret MESERVE) 9 THE PRINTERS' NETWORKS OF CHEN QI (1186-1256) AND ROBERT ESTIENNE (1503-1559): A MICRO-COMPARATIVE APPROACH TO POLITICAL DEPENDENCE AND CENSORSHIP (CHU Ming Kin and Franz-Julius MORCHE) PART IV: MEMORY AND POLITICAL IMAGINARIES 10 LETTERS AND PARTING VALEDICTIONS: ZHANG YU AND POLITICAL COMMUNICATION IN MID-ELEVENTH-CENTURY SICHUAN (CHEN Song) 11 YUE FEI AND THOMAS BECKET: ELITE MASCULINITIES IN COMPARISON (Bernard GOWERS and TSUI Lik Hang) 12 IMAGINARIES OF EMPIRE AND MEMORIES OF COLLAPSE: PARALLEL NARRATIVES IN SOUTHERN SONG AND BYZANTINE COMMEMORATIONS OF CONQUERED CAPITALS (Ari Daniel LEVINE) EPILOGUES 1 COMMUNICATION BREAKTHROUGHS: CONDITIONS AND CONSEQUENCES (Wim BLOCKMANS) 2 THOUGHTS ON THE PROBLEM OF HISTORICAL COMPARISON BETWEEN EUROPE AND CHINA (Robert HYMES) INDEX

Amsterdam University Press Sanctions with Chinese Characteristics: Rhetoric
Book SynopsisThe view that China has become increasingly assertive under President Xi Jinping is now a common trope in academic and media discourse. However, until the end of Xi Jinping’s first term in March 2018, China had been relatively restrained in its use of coercive economic measures. This is puzzling given the conventional belief among scholars and practitioners that sanctions are a middle ground between diplomatic and military/paramilitary action. Using a wide range of methods and data — including in-depth interviews with 76 current and former politicians, policy-makers, diplomats, and commercial actors across 12 countries and 16 cities — Sanctions with Chinese Characteristics: Rhetoric and Restraint in China’s Diplomacy examines the ways in which China had employed economic sanctions to further its political objectives, and the factors explaining China’s behaviour. This book provides a systematic investigation into the ways in which Chinese decisionmakers approached sanctions both at the United Nations Security Council and unilaterally, and shows how China’s longstanding sanctions rhetoric has had a constraining effect on its behaviour, resulting in its inability to employ sanctions in complete alignment with its immediate interests.Trade Review"As anxiety over China’s presumed assertiveness continues to surge around the world, Poh’s book thus offers a compelling case that policymakers should explicitly call out Beijing’s hypocrisy when it deploys sanctions. This innovative policy implication, augmented by the book’s conceptual and methodological contributions, render this work a timely and important contribution to our understanding of China’s economic statecraft."- James Reilly, The China Quarterly, Volume 247, September 2021 "[...] Poh’s excellent study shows us that (for the most part) the PRC has up to this point been held back by fetters of its own making." - Todd H.

Amsterdam University Press An Experts' Guide to International Protocol: Best
Book SynopsisAlthough modern life grows increasingly casual, in many sectors, protocol still reigns supreme. An Expert's Guide to International Protocol offers an overview of its associated practices, including those found within the context of diplomatic relations and the business world. Focusing on a wide range of countries and cultures, the book covers topics like precedence, seating arrangements, flags, ceremonies, invitations, dress codes, gifts and honours, and the roles of the protocol officer, guest and host. Throughout, influential diplomatic, business, and cultural figures share their own experiences with protocols around the world, also throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.Trade Review"I think that the authors' intent for this book has great value and extends far beyond national borders. There are so many emerging nations that may still be searching for suitable forms of protocol like those so clearly expressed in this book. I therefore heartily recommend this volume to everyone working in an international corporate or diplomatic environment and any country looking for the best way to apply international protocol."- Professor Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, former Secretary-General of NATO "A book like this is also extremely important for the business world in the sense that anyone who comes into contact with the outside world needs to know the rules, and this can help enormously, especially today. In the past, you often learned about all of this at home, as part of your upbringing, but times have changed and the world is more complex now. We become independent at a younger age and have much more responsibility. So we need to make sure that the younger generation is trained and learns what to do. This book would definitely help to do that."- Martin van Pernis, former President of the Board of Siemens, the Netherlands "Absolutely agree with the authors: diplomacy has never been more important as we face this global challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic. And, as always, diplomacy and protocol will adapt and innovate to continue being the existential base requirement for international relations, and an essential ingredient in international collaboration and problem solving."- Mr Stewart Wheeler, Chief of Protocol of Canada "Proper protocol is essential to effective diplomacy and business.

Central European University Press Gorbachev and Bush: The Last Superpower Summits.
Book SynopsisThis book presents and interprets archival records of the meetings between Mikhail Gorbachev and George W. Bush between 1989 and 1991, including transcripts of conversations between top leaders on the rapid and monumental events of the final days of the Cold War. Particularly effective interlocutors were the foreign ministers Eduard Shevardnadze and James Baker, especially interesting when they interacted directly with Bush or Gorbachev. The documents were obtained from the Gorbachev Foundation and the Russian State Archives and from the United States government through requests under the Freedom of Information Act. Taking place at a time of revolutionary change in Eastern Europe, stimulated in part by Gorbachev and by Eastern Europeans (the Solidarity movement, dissidents, reform communists), the Malta Summit of 1989 and subsequent meetings helped defuse any potential for superpower conflict. Each of the five summits is covered in a separate chapter, introduced by an essay that places the transcripts in historical context. The anthology offers a fascinating glimpse into the relationship that defined the last, waning years of the Cold War-a unique record of these historic, highest-level conversations that effectively brought it to a close. The quality and scope of the dialogue between these world leaders was unprecedented and is likely never to be repeated.Table of ContentsPreface and Acknowledgements Main Actors Chronology of Events Chapter 1: The Malta Summit, 1989 Document No. 71: Memorandum of Telephone Conversation, Bush-Gorbachev, 12:33 p.m. -12:46 p.m., January 23, 1989 Document No. 72: CIA Intelligence Estimate: "Moscow's 1989 Agenda for U.S.-Soviet Relations," February 1989 Document No. 73: Memorandum from Scowcroft for the President: "Getting Ahead of Gorbachev," March 1, 1989 Document No. 74: Record of Conversation between Gorbachev and Baker, Moscow, May 11, 1989 Document No. 75: Memorandum from Scowcroft for the President: "Scope Paper--Your Visit to Poland," June 29, 1989 Document No. 76: Letter from Bush to Gorbachev, July 21, 1989 Document No. 77: Memorandum of Conversation, Bush-Shevardnadze, Washington, 2:00 p.m. -

Central European University Press Gorbachev and Reagan: The Last Superpower
Book SynopsisThis book is the culmination of twenty years of research in which the editors gathered thousands of pages documenting the most important conversations of the late Cold War. Every word Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev said to each other in their five superpower summits from 1985 to 1988 is included in this volume. The editors argue in their contextual essays and detailed notes that these summits fueled a learning process on both sides of the Cold War. Their anthology provides insight into the nuanced shifts of monumentally important discussions, showing how Moscow's sense of threat was eased and how a hawkish Reagan softened his tone in negotiations during his second presidential term. Documents from foreign ministers Eduard Shevardnadze and George Shultz offer a particularly intriguing look into the handful of conversations that ended almost half a century of conflict. These verbatim transcripts, until now top secret, are combined with fascinating photos and crucial information from declassified preparatory and after-action documents from both the Americans and Soviets, obtained in the US through the Freedom of Information Act and in Russia from the Gorbachev Foundation, the State Archive of the Russian Federation in Moscow, and from the personal files of Anatoly Chernyaev, Gorbachev's foreign policy adviser.Table of ContentsPreface and Acknowledgements Main Actors Chronology of Events Chapter 1: The Geneva Summit, 1985 Document No. 1: Record of Conversation between Thatcher and Reagan, December 22, 1984 Document No. 2: Memorandum from Yakovlev to Gorbachev: "About Reagan," March 12, 1985 Document No. 3: Letter from Reagan to Gorbachev, April 30, 1985 Document No. 4: CIA Intelligence Analysis: "Gorbachev, the New Broom," June 1985 Document No. 5: Record of Main Content of Conversation between Gorbachev and U.S. Senate Delegation, September 3, 1985 Document No. 6: Memorandum Dictated by Reagan: "Gorbachev," November, 1985 Document No. 7: CIA paper: "Sharing SDI Technology with the Soviets," November 1, 1985 Document No. 8: Memorandum from McFarlane to the President: "Papers on the Soviet Union: Gorbachev and his Geneva Agenda," November 12, 1985 Document No. 9: Memorandum of Conversation, Reagan-Gorbachev, First Private Meeting, Geneva, 10:20 a.m. -

Gefen Publishing House Titus, Trump and the Triumph of Israel: The Power
Book SynopsisWe are living in mysterious yet miraculous times. On the one hand, we have witnessed the most remarkable fulfilment of Biblical prophecy: the Jewish peoples return to Israel and the prosperity and contributions of this tiny country in such a short time. On the other hand, we have seen an unexpected rise in anti-Semitism which takes the form of anti-Zionism and alliances between groups that are fighting against the most fundamental biblical values. The division in worldviews has become starker than ever. In this book, Josh Reinstein, who through his initiative of faith-based diplomacy is at the centre of this tension, takes a unique approach to explaining what lies behind the recent wave of support for Israel and the counter force. He answers important questions to clarify what drives the political actions that we witness today and what path should be taken moving forward.

University of the West Indies Press Development and Diplomacy: Resetting Caribbean
Book SynopsisIn the wake of pervasive global challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Caribbean stands at a critical point in its economic development. Development and Diplomacy: Resetting Caribbean Policy Analysis in the Aftermath of the COVID-19 Pandemic is an illuminating exploration of the region’s need to recalibrate and reshape its developmental policy strategy.Under the stewardship of Winston Dookeran and Dr M. Raymond Izarali, the volume embarks on a comprehensive examination of the frontiers in economic policy analysis: convergence, complexity, competitiveness, and the circular economy. These frontiers, often discussed in isolation, collectively establish the theoretical framework for the World Economic Forum’s “The Great Reset Initiative”, aimed at rebuilding a more sustainable, equitable, and inclusive world following the pandemic.Thought-provoking chapters – written by scholars and practitioners both within and beyond the region – span issues such as the challenges facing small island states, the adequacy of orthodox growth models, regional advances in policy structures, liberalism, investment and capital flows, and health diplomacy to name a few and encapsulate a multidisciplinary approach. This approach expertly weaves together the disciplines of economics, politics, and diplomacy to forge not only a holistic understanding of Caribbean policy dynamics but also forge a clear path to translating research findings into actionable policy insights, which could propel the Caribbean towards a future of renewed prosperity and shared success. Development and Diplomacy is a sequel to previous publications, such as Winston Dookeran’s Power, Politics and Performance: A Partnership Approach for Development (2012); Crisis and Promise in the Caribbean: Politics and Convergence (2015); The Caribbean on the Edge: The Political Stress of Stability, Equality, and Diplomacy and Dookeran and Carlos Elias’s Shifting the Frontiers: An Action Framework for the Future of the Caribbean (2016). This volume is poised to empower professors and students in the field of development studies, policy leaders and practitioners within agencies, and the voices of citizens and advocates shaping public discourse.Table of ContentsFigures / xTables / xiiBoxes / xiiiMessage from The Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean / xivForeword / xviPreface: Development and Diplomacy: Resetting Caribbean Policy Analysis in the Aftermath of the COVID-19 Pandemic / xviii by Winston DookeranAcknowledgments / xxiiAcronyms / xxiiiPart 1 Conceptual Thought and Framework of Analysis1.
