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 dinosaurs in a disappearing world through magic. Instead, this 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 examples often very interesting. Each chapter includes questions to stimulate students' thinking, making it complete and thorough. I highly recommend this book. — Professor Barry J. Buzan, Emeritus Professor of the University of London, Honorary Professor
It holds extraordinary value, serving as both a witness to the changes in individual methods and techniques of diplomacy in the second 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 also, importantly, provides knowledge and assistance to diplomats from the Third World. — Professor Dietrich Kappeler, Geneva Graduate Institute of International Studies
