English | 2020 | ISBN: 0367013738 | EPUB | pages: 292 | 0.5 mb
Contadora―the Central American peace negotiations launched on Contadora Island by Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, and Panama in 1983― has been the focus of heated polemics in the United States and abroad. Contadora’s supporters contend that it represents the only viable alternative to deepening conflict in Central America, which could ultimately produce a direct U.S. military intervention in Nicaragua. Critics of Contadora view the initiative as a collection of unverifiable and unenforceable proposals that could pave the way for the consolidation of a Soviet-Cuban presence and legitimize a Communist regime on the mainland of the Americas, thus irreparably damaging U.S. security interests. The first of these two volumes examines the evolution of U.S. policy toward Central America and Contadora during the first half of the 1980s in an effort to clarify the nature of the debate over the Contadora process and its potential contributions to regional peace. The contributors define U.S. security interests in Central America and analyze the internal dynamics of the Contadora negotiations as well as Contadora¾ “fit†with U.S. interests and policies in the region.

Free Download Michael J Strauss, "Territorial Leasing in Diplomacy and International Law"
English | ISBN: 9004293612 | 2015 | 256 pages | PDF | 1260 KB
Territorial Leasing in Diplomacy and International Law focuses on an unexplored but relatively common practice in which states reallocate their rights on territory without altering formal boundaries or resorting to definitive cessions. As products of diplomacy, leases address a frequent situation that, in extreme cases, can lead to war: the desire by more than one state to exercise sovereign authority in the same place. As instruments of international law, they paradoxically reinforce the territorial integrity of states while raising questions about the nature of their sovereignty. This book draws from a large number of leases to examine the practice from historic to modern times, describing their elements in detail and assessing them from both political and legal perspectives.

Free Download Glenda Sluga, "Women, Diplomacy and International Politics since 1500 "
English | ISBN: 0415714656 | 2015 | 292 pages | EPUB | 1275 KB
Women, Diplomacy and International Politics since 1500 explores the role of women as agents of diplomacy in the trans-Atlantic world since the early modern age. Despite increasing evidence of their involvement in political life across the centuries, the core historical narrative of international politics remains notably depleted of women. This collection challenges this perspective.

Free Download Andrew F. Cooper, "Tests of Global Governance: Canadian Diplomacy and United Nations World Conferences"
English | 2004 | pages: 311 | ISBN: 9280810960 | PDF | 1,5 mb
This book provides a detailed examination of what happens when traditional diplomatic methods interface with new forms of global governance. The role of Canada is given special attention as both a unique and representative sample of how the interplay between diplomacy and global governance has played out over the past decade or so during UN World Conferences. The main focus is on the span of activity from the 1992 Rio UNCED conference, through the 1993 Vienna Conference on Human Rights, the 1994 Cairo Conference on Population and Development, the 1995 World Summit for Social Development, the 1995 Beijing Conference on Women, to the 2001 Durban World Conference on Racism. The picture that emerges, while not translating into a complete recipe for a shift toward democratic governance, suggests a deepening network of institutions, actors, and organizations forming the complex regimes that govern the major arenas of world politics. At a country-specific level, the analysis supports the view that a deep residue of multilateralism still exists in Canada but argues that this tradition faces ongoing challenges from a variety of sources.

English | 2018 | ISBN: 1788311507, 1788311493 | EPUB | pages: 368 | 1.0 mb
The African Union has been a major factor in establishing peace, security and development in Africa. Today, however, the intranational body is struggling in the midst of a perceived dissipating appetite for supporting continental institutions. Previously seen as the panacea to Africa’s continuing problems with violence and corruption in society, under the slogan "African Solutions to African Problems", the African Union, this book argues, seems to have run its course.

Free Download Hallvard Notaker, Giles Scott-Smith, David J. Snyder, "Reasserting America in the 1970s: U.S. public diplomacy and the rebuilding of America’s image abroad"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 178499331X, 1784993301 | EPUB | pages: 296 | 0.8 mb
Reasserting America in the 1970s brings together two areas of burgeoning scholarly interest. On the one hand, scholars are investigating the many ways in which the 1970s constituted a profound era of transition in the international order. The American defeat in Vietnam, the breakdown of the Bretton Woods exchange system and a string of domestic setbacks including Watergate, Three-Mile Island and reversals during the Carter years all contributed to a grand reappraisal of the power and prestige of the United States in the world. In addition, the rise of new global competitors such as Germany and Japan, the pursuit of détente with the Soviet Union and the emergence of new private sources of global power contributed to uncertainty.

Free Download Jun Morikawa, "Whaling in Japan: Power, Politics and Diplomacy"
English | ISBN: 0199326975 | 2009 | 256 pages | PDF | 9 MB
For years, pro-whaling forces and ardent anti whaling organizations in Japan and abroad have wrestled with a contentious and highly emotive issue, while proponents of whaling have sought to control the parameters of the debate by limiting it to a discussion of catchphrases such as ‘sustainable use,’ ‘Japan’s whaling traditions’ and ‘whale-eating culture’. "Whaling in Japan" seeks to broaden the terms of reference by providing a wider, objective analytic framework for examining this issue and the political actors and forces in Tokyo – the government, the bureaucracy and the Institute of Cetacean research – that create, control and implement Japan’s policy and continue to shape the debate. Through the encouragement of political myths, the manipulation of public opinion and ironically, even by using the actions of the anti-whaling movement to its own advantage, pro-whaling forces have created a domestic consensus that allows Tokyo’s whaling policies to continue to expand relatively unchallenged even as stockpiles of unsold whale meat build up in Japanese warehouses. "Whaling in Japan" focuses on the gap between the political myths and the reality of Japan’s whaling policy and sheds light on seldom discussed aspects of the political and decision-making structures that support it. Morikawa also examines how Japan has used diplomacy and aid gradually to expand international support for its whaling policies at the International Whaling Commission (IWC) and considers the longer term future of whaling as environmental awareness grows apace.

Free Download M. Z. A. Shakeb, "Relations of Golkonda With Iran: Diplomacy, Ideas, and Commerce 1518-1687"
English | ISBN: 9384082910 | 2017 | 245 pages | PDF | 1318 KB
Between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Deccan sultanates of southern India lay at the crossroads of maritime and agrarian empires of the early modern world. While the artistic and architectural merits of the Deccan’s Indo-Islamic courts are wellknown, the region’s unique historical relationship to Iran remains unexamined, often subsumed under the shadow of the Mughal Empire. This volume explores the diplomatic connections and intellectual linkages of the Golkonda sultanate with Safavid Iran and Mughal Hindustan. Complementing studies of early modern empires, it examines a breadth of Persian manuscripts, epistolary correspondence, archival documents, and European travel accounts from the Deccan. It is one of the first of its kind to explore the movement of knowledge, talent, and people in the early modern world from the perspective of a non-imperial, regional polity. Regional sultanates were not merely receivers of statecraft, religion, and politics from large empires, but also a critical site where diplomatic negotiations and new forms of intellectual exchange transpired and bore upon broader shifts in the eastern Islamic world.

Discourse Diplomacy of Emmanuel Macron is a captivating exploration into the powerful rhetoric of one of today’s most influential leaders. As an avid observer of international relations and political strategy, I dissected Macron’s pivotal speeches and public statements to uncover the layers of meaning and intent behind his words. For instance, I read his ‘Make Our Planet Great Again’ speech, where he rallied global support for climate action, and his ‘Europe: A Sovereign, United, and Democratic Power’ speech, where he outlined his vision for a stronger Europe.
