4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 7 ratings

There is a newer edition of this item:

Like all professions, diplomacy has spawned its own specialized terminology, and it is this lexicon which provides A Dictionary of Diplomacy's thematic spine. However, the dictionary also includes entries on legal terms, political events, international organizations and major figures who have occupied the diplomatic scene or have written influentially about it over the last half millennium. All students of diplomacy and related subjects and especially junior members of the many diplomatic services of the world will find this book indispensable.

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2003
This book is a lexicon of diplomacy. Anyone engaged in the field of diplomacy must have this book. It is a great tool to use for students and diplomats alike. There is finally a dictionary that explains the different diplomatic terms used between foreign governments; there is a biographical sketch of famous envoys; and an appendix of the Vienna Convetion of Diplomatic Relations 1961 - a codified set of rules for diplomatic intercourse.

Good book. I thought the cover would be as photo. It came completely gray. The inside is useful in some cases. I think it could have been better, but it's ok
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2002
This is an excellent compilation of standard terms used in diplomacy as a branch of international relations.
the definitions provided are succint and precise, and help the reader with the right amount of information. The links provided to other words are especially valuable, permitting a complete search of the selected word of topic.
It is in the nature of today's world of diversity and complexity that a compilation like this one will need updating from time to time, and addition of new terms that keep cropping up in different parts of the world. No doubt an internet ediion of the book, in the future will be of special value in such an updating process.
it is an invaluable guide.
