Diplomacy (Kissinger Book)
''Diplomacy'' is a 1994 book written by former United States National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Summary It is a sweep of the history of international relations and the art of diplomacy that largely concentrates on the 20th century and the Western World. Kissinger, as a great believer in the realist school (realism) of international relations, focuses strongly on the concepts of the balance of power in Europe prior to World War I, raison d'État and Realpolitik throughout the ages of diplomatic relations. Kissinger also provides critiques of the counter realist diplomatic tactics of collective security, which was developed in the Charter of the League of Nations, and self-determination, which was also a principle of the League. Kissinger also examines the use of the sphere of influence arguments put forth by the Soviet Union in Eastern and Southern Europe after World War II, an argument that has been maintained by contemporary Russian foreign ...

Aspectos teóricos y prácticos de su ejercicio profesional'') is a 1996 book written by Ismael Moreno Pino, a former ambassador of Mexico and undersecretary of foreign affairs, who was active in promoting nuclear disarmament during the Cold War. Summary The book seeks to provide a practical and theoretical framework for the study and practice of diplomacy in the context of a rapidly evolving world order in the early 21st century. Technological innovation, particularly in the field of telecommunications, and the collapse of socialism in Eastern Europe transformed international relations. In the aftermath of the Cold War, the widespread implementation of neoliberal policies modified geopolitics in the context of globalism. Diplomacy (defined as, "the art, science or practice of conducting negotiations between countries") had to adapt to play a different role. For Developing countries, foreign tra ...

Diplomacy (game)
''Diplomacy'' is a strategic board game created by Allan B. Calhamer in 1954 and released commercially in the United States in 1959. Its main distinctions from most board wargames are its negotiation phases (players spend much of their time forming and betraying alliances with other players and forming beneficial strategies) and the absence of dice and other game elements that produce random effects. Set in Europe in the years leading to the First World War, ''Diplomacy'' is played by two to seven players, each controlling the armed forces of a major European power (or, with fewer players, multiple powers). Each player aims to move their few starting units and defeat those of others to win possession of a majority of strategic cities and provinces marked as "supply centers" on the map; these supply centers allow players who control them to produce more units. Following each round of player negotiations, each player can issue attack and support orders, which are then executed d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
