"This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand global interactions through diplomacy and, in particular, the role of diplomacy in today's turbulent world."
Selwa Roosevelt, former United States Chief of Protocol

"Contemporary diplomacy is being handled by larger numbers of people dealing with a larger number of issues than ever before. Its methods and its structures are evolving, sometimes creakily, to match. This book gives the first complete account of where and why these changes are occurring and it is simply essential reading for all who study diplomacy and its place in 21st-century global governance."
Richard Langhorne, Rutgers University

"This incisive study straddles with ease the theoretical and practical worlds of diplomacy. A valuable and timely addition to the literature with several novel features on the role of non-state actors."
Kishan Rana, Former Indian Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany

"The clarity of its argument and the quality of the research underpinning it, as well as the elegance of its writing, make Geoffrey Pigman's work an essential book for students and scholars interested in the dynamics of diplomacy in the post Cold War world."
Erik Goldstein, Boston University
