Diplomacy Book Pdf
Full text of ' HENRY In this controversial and monumental book — arguably his most important — Henry Kissinger illuminates just what diplomacy is. Moving from a sweeping overview of his own interpretation of history to personal accounts of his negotiations with world leaders, Kissinger describes the ways in which the art of diplomacy and the balance of power have created the world we live in, and shows how Americans, protected by the size and isolation of their country, as well as by their own idealism and mistrust of the Old World, have sought to conduct a unique kind of foreign policy based on the way they wanted the world to be, as opposed to the way it really is. Spanning more than three centuries of history, from Cardinal Richelieu, the father of the modem state system, to the “New World Order,” in which we live, Kissinger demonstrates how modem diplomacy emerged from the trials and experi- ences of the balance of power of warfare and peacemaking, and why America, sometimes to its peril, refused to learn its lessons. His intimate portraits of world leaders, includ- ing de Gaulle, Nixon, Chou En-lai, Mao Tse-tung, Reagan, and Gorbachev, based on personal expe- rience and knowledge, provide the reader with a rare window on diplomacy at the summit, togeth- er with a wealth of detailed and original observa- tions on the secret negotiations, great events, and the art of statesmanship that have shaped our lives in the decades before, during and since Henry Kissinger was himself at the center of things. Analyzing the differences in the national styles of diplomacy, Kissinger shows how various soci- eties produce special ways of conducting foreign policy, and how Americans, from the very begin- ning, sought a distinctive foreign policy based on idealism. He illustrates his points with his own insights and with examples from his own experi- ence, as well as with candid accounts of his breakthrough diplomatic initiatives as Nixon’s for- eign policy partner.
Informed by deep historical knowledge, wit, a gift for irony, and a unique understanding of the forces that bind and sunder nations, Kissinger’s Diplomacy is must reading for anyone who cares about America’s position in the world. Henry Alfred Kissinger was sworn in on September 22, 1973, as the fifty-sixth Secretary of State, a position he held until January 20, 1977. He also served as Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs from January 20, 1969, until November 3, 1975. Among the awards Dr. Kissinger has received have been the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973; the Presidential Medal of Freedom (the nation’s high- est civilian award) in 1977; and the Medal of Liberty in 1986.

Both the author and the publisher pay tribute to the late Sir Harold Nicolsons book (Harcourt, Brace & Company, 1939), which was quite different in scope, intentions, and ideas. A leatherbound signed first edition of this book has been published by The Easton Press.
Negotiators are always driven by the clock, and the art of negotiation is one of this book's main themes. The examples included, such as the Iran nuclear talks, are mostly contemporary, but historical background to the diplomatic methods themselves is always provided.
This helps to show that a rejuvenation of key features of traditional diplomacy has occurred in recent years that has gone largely unnoticed, partly because new labels have been given to old procedures, a notable instance being the rebranding of propaganda as 'public diplomacy'. This revised fifth edition of Diplomacy, from a globally renowned researcher and teacher of the subject, has been fully updated. Lessons of the 2014 G20 summit in Brisbane are explored, as are those of the highly topical Budapest Memorandum on Ukraine. Berridge's study also includes new chapters on secret intelligence and economic and commercial diplomacy.; July 2015.

520 In The Press 'Probably the most prolific contemporary writer on diplomacy is Professor Geoff R. Berridge Each of his many books is impeccably well written and full of insights into the fascinating formation of modern diplomacy' – Robert William Dry, New York University, USA, and Chairman of AFSA's Committee on the Foreign Service Profession and Ethics 'I discovered Geoff Berridge's book on diplomacy after serving as a diplomat for over 30 years.
It is well researched, sophisticated, inspiring and, where the subject invites it, suitably ironic. I used the 4th edition with my students and will now continue working with the 5th edition.' ' - Dr Max Schweizer, Head of Foreign Affairs and Applied Diplomacy, ZHAW School of Management and Law, Switzerland 'Berridge's Diplomacy is an enlightening journey that takes the student, the practitioner and the general reader from the front to the backstage of current diplomatic practice. The thoroughly updated and expanded text – also enriched with a stimulating new treatment of embassies – is an invaluable guide to the stratagems and outcomes, continuities and innovations, of a centuries' long process.'
