Global Governance and Diplomacy Worlds Apart?

This is an edited volume of theoretical and case study analyses by a range of academics and practitioners of the interface between the practice of diplomacy and global governance structures. It contains several case studies from a range of experts based around the globe which will facilitate its use as a text for upper level undergraduates and graduate students on a variety of courses. It blends established expertise from the North with compelling voices from the South which increases its capacity to reach a global audience. It stands out in its appreciation of the changing international system since 2001.While diplomacy is a well-established topic for study, global governance is a relatively new arrival to the conceptual landscape of international relations. At first glance the two exist in separate worlds. This book examines the relationship between these two concepts for the first time in a comprehensive manner.
