Features: Ranah's insistence on the importance of bilateral diplomacy is convincing, not only because of the power and charm of his logical reasoning, but also because he is not trying to conjure up a dinosaur in a disappearing world. Instead, the book exudes a modern linguistic atmosphere and boldly declares that diplomats can learn a great deal from "business management methods." As a textbook, its style and expression are excellent. The language is clear and concise, with key points summarized and listed, and the examples are often interesting. Each chapter includes questions to stimulate students' thinking, making it complete and thorough. I highly recommend this book. — Professor Barrych, Emeritus Professor of Honors at Lehigh University
It has exceptional value, serving as both a witness to the changes in individual methods and techniques of diplomacy during the latter half of the 20th century and an immediate snapshot of what has just happened. Therefore, this book not only opens the eyes of those centered on Western culture but, more importantly, provides knowledge and assistance to diplomats from the Third World. — Professor Dietrich Kappler, Institute of International Relations, Geneva
"Bilateral Diplomacy" is a collection of multifaceted achievements, encompassing the concepts and functions of diplomatic relations. It is a rigorous reference book suitable for diplomats, scholars, and media analysts, but more importantly, it is also ideal for young students of international relations. — Dixit, former Foreign Minister of India
"Bilateral Diplomacy" is a timely and highly persuasive book in maintaining the fundamental structure of international relations. It successfully and seamlessly combines diplomatic practical experience and lessons with new academic theoretical perspectives in international relations, conducting in-depth research. — Professor Paul Sharp, University of Minnesota
Based on the author's long and rich experience in diplomacy, this book provides a detailed explanation of bilateral diplomacy, divided into three parts: objectives, institutions, and methods. It argues that the importance of resident embassies has never been greater and that bilateral diplomacy is experiencing a "revival." The book uses numerous examples from the author's experience, focusing on the practical aspects of diplomacy. It can serve as a reference for diplomatic studies and also as a guide for foreign affairs personnel.
