Guerrillas In The Midst

The Book, The Man and the guerrilla
On 28 October, The Royal Institute for International Relations will launch a new book, Guerrilla Diplomacy by Canadian analyst Daryl Copeland in which he argues that “diplomats must be empowered to manage globalization, but to do that successfully, diplomacy itself will have to be re-invented.
In that respect, diplomacy’s inherent dedication to dialogue, whether through open communication or more discreet channels, has great appeal, especially as an alternative to the threat or use of force.” Indeed, he goes further to say that “diplomacy, re-imagined and linked integrally to development and security, can, and should, displace defence at the center of international policy and global relations.”
As institutions like NATO undergo a thorough policy review and the European Union prepares its own diplomatic arm, this is a timely contribution to the debate on the future of diplomacy.
