Publisher's Synopsis
The current state of diplomacy, especially multilateral diplomacy, is marked by increasing inability to forge consensus on key global issues, including the existential matter of climate change. In addition, the changes wrought by technology and the impact of social media, the fraying of the social protection at the heart of the international economic and financial architecture, the need to address economic, wealth and wage inequality and the swift transformation of the world of work and their implications for diplomacy and negotiations require new approaches to the work of diplomats and the way they are trained.
