From the Back Cover

This timely new book focuses on multilateral diplomacy as it relates to global issues, global governance, and global institutions. Invited authorities, including academics, business people, and members of international groups, contribute original essays on how diplomacy as an institution and a profession has been affected by globalization, the rise of civil society and global business, emerging economic and political conditions, and new threats to peace and security in the world. Emphasizing practical applications over theoretical foundations, The New Dynamics of Multilateralism helps students understand how the practice of multilateral diplomacy has been influenced by the changes in the processes and procedures of international organizations and how diplomacy contributes to the transformation of the international system of governance and the transition to an emerging new global order.
