International Diplomacy

Diversifying Diplomacy tells the story of Harriet Lee Elam-Thomas, a young black woman who beat the odds and challenged the status quo. Inspired by the strong women in her life, she followed in the footsteps of the few women who had gone before her in her effort to make the Foreign Service reflect the diverse faces of the United States. The youngest child of parents who left the segregated Old South to raise their family in Massachusetts, Elam-Thomas distinguished herself with a diplomatic career at a time when few colleagues looked like her.

A groundbreaking new study of Anglo-American relations during the Cold War, Diplomacy at the Brink argues for a reevaluation of Dwight D. Eisenhower's foreign policy toward allies and enemies alike. Contrary to his reputation as a level-headed moderate, the Eisenhower who emerges is a conservative ideologue, a leader whose aggressively anti-Communist and anticolonialist foreign policies represented a major shift away from the containment policy of the Truman presidency.

Politisch und wirtschaftlich ist die demokratische Welt so schwach wie seit Jahrzehnten nicht mehr. Das Konzept "Wandel durch Handel" ist gescheitert. Vielmehr hat es Diktaturen gestärkt und Demokratien untergraben. Freie und offene Gesellschaften sind existenziell gefährdet. Der russische Einmarsch in der Ukraine, der brutale Angriff auf Israel, der wieder salonfähig gewordene Antisemitismus und die wirtschaftliche Abhängigkeit von China müssen ein Weckruf für offene Gesellschaften sein. Es braucht jetzt grundlegende Veränderungen.

In the immediate aftermath of World War II, the United States Army became the principal agent of American foreign policy. The army designed, implemented, and administered the occupations of the defeated Axis powers Germany and Japan, as well as many other nations. Generals such as Lucius Clay in Germany, Douglas MacArthur in Japan, Mark Clark in Austria, and John Hodge in Korea presided over these territories as proconsuls.

Whose side are they on? Diplomacy is one thing. But giving aid and comfort to the enemy is quite another. Yet that is exactly what our very own State Department is doing -coddling brutal dictators, covering up gaping holes in our nation's safety net, and appeasing regimes that actively sponsor terrorists around the world. In this global war on terrorism, the U.S. State Department has proven itself to be one of our biggest obstacles to victory.

In this examination of Union and Confederate foreign relations during the Civil War, from both European and American perspectives, Howard Jones demonstrates that the consequences of the conflict between North and South reached far beyond American soil.

"The Number One Mission" explores the Nigerian High Commission in the United Kingdom from the perspective of history and diplomacy.

An Independent Empire shows how foreign policy and diplomacy constitute a truly national story, necessary for understanding the history of the United States. In this lively and well-written book, episodes in American history - such as the writing and ratification of the Constitution, Henry Clay's advocacy of an American System, Pinckney's Treaty with Spain, and the visionary but absurd Congress of Panama - are recast as elemental aspects of United States foreign and security policy.

Лето 1917 года. Жаркое время. Император Михаил II возглавил революцию. Россия готова перейти в наступление на фронтах. Германия готовится нанести свой удар. Равновесие вот-вот обрушится, окончательно изменив привычный нам мир 1917 года. А пока император-попаданец готовится заключить династический брак. Принцесса Иоланда Савойская, следуя государственным интересам Италии, должна отправиться в Россию. Какие страшные тайны скрываются за кулисами мировой политики? Тысячелетние "старые семьи" и "молодые выскочки", капиталам которых "всего лишь" пара сотен лет. Великие дома и монархи. Сложное переплетение денег и реальной власти.

Deutschland hatte sich behaglich eingerichtet in der Welt der Globalisierung - einer Welt, die friedlich zusammenzuwachsen und für uns immer sicherer zu werden schien. Doch diese Welt gibt es spätestens seit dem russischen Überfall auf die Ukraine nicht mehr. Über ein Zeitenwendchen ist die deutsche Politik bisher dennoch nicht hinausgekommen. Nach einem ersten Schock hat das Land wieder in den Friedensmodus geschaltet. Carlo Masala zieht eine schonungslose Bilanz und beschreibt, wie wir resilienter werden können - gesellschaftlich, wirtschaftlich, politisch und militärisch.

Americans frequently criticize US foreign policy for being overly costly and excessively militaristic. With its rising defense budgets and open-ended "forever wars," US foreign policy often appears disconnected from public opinion, reflecting the views of elites and special interests rather than the attitudes of ordinary citizens. The Commander-in-Chief Test argues that this conventional wisdom underestimates the role public opinion plays in shaping foreign policy.

Il libro più provocatorio e riflessivo dell’inviato del "Corriere della sera" in Kossovo, Croazia e Bosnia. Il carattere di novità del processo a Milosevic e le sue dichiarazioni davanti alla corte del Tribunale Penale Internazionale forniscono all’autore una duplice occasione di approfondimento. Da un lato, si tratta di riesaminare dieci anni di eventi drammatici alla luce delle dichiarazioni dell’imputato.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a wake-up call: The all-in stance in favor of renewables has rendered Europe's economy and national security vulnerable to Russian President Vladimir Putin. And America is in danger of making the same catastrophic energy mistake as Europe. Award-winning author Bill Herrington delivers the truth about U.S. energy, national security, and the environment—and exposes the misrepresentations of fossil fuels protestors and climate change activists.

The ongoing Ukrainian conflict serves as a microcosm reflecting the complexities of global geopolitics, where human aspirations, intricate geopolitical dynamics, and the pursuit of stability converge. Amidst a realm of potential outcomes, this conflict underscores the adaptable nature of international relations, shaped not just by strategic decisions, but also by the unpredictability of unforeseen events.

Selvfølgelig måtte Winston Churchill blive premierminister i maj 1940 og fortsætte kampen mod Nazi-Tyskland, men det var nu langt fra nogen selvfølge. Selvfølgelig måtte de Gaulle i juni 1940 gå i eksil og aktivere modstanden mod den tyske besættelsesmagt, men han var nu temmelig alene om det. Store for eftertiden afgørende beslutninger, som forekommer os selvfølgelige, var det langt fra i samtiden. Det krævede vilje, mod og viden at sætte dem igennem.

With a historian's eye and a theorist's ingenuity, Michael Doyle, whose writings on liberal peace have revolutionized modern statesmanship, cogently assesses the tectonic shifts threatening a global order that has held for more than seventy years. As tensions among China, Russia, and the US escalate perilously toward a new Cold War, Doyle introduces a radical paradigm that will facilitate the international cooperation necessary to avert the global threats of our time.

On the night of September 11, 2012, the American diplomatic mission at Benghazi, Libya, came under ferocious attack by a heavily armed group of Islamic terrorists. The prolonged firefight, and the attack hours later on a nearby CIA outpost, resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including the American ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, the Information Officer, Sean Smith, and two former Navy SEALs, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, working for the Central Intelligence Agency.
