About this book
Reviews
“In this splendid follow-up volume, Yolanda Spies offers a comprehensive, careful and, above all, timely analysis of the institutions and practice of diplomacy as seen from different perspectives in the Global South. These perspectives have always been understudied and undervalued in the established diplomatic order, but as that order disestablishes itself, new and fresh perspectives like the ones set out here will be at a premium.” (Paul Sharp, Professor of Political Science, University of Minnesota, USA)
“Global South Perspectives on Diplomacy is not just another book. It gives compelling insight into the organisation and structuring of diplomacy. The reader can feel and experience the thinking behind the Global South’s evolution in international politics and diplomacy. That’s what makes the book unique for all professionals working in the international arena, from whatever place in the world you are coming from.” (Ron Ton, Director of Clingendael Academy and trainer in diplomacy, negotiations and mediation, The Netherlands)
“Global South Perspectives on Diplomacy is a useful addition to a field that has been occupied primarily by scholars and practitioners from the Global North. Yolanda Spies competently engages broad debates on major forms of diplomacy and their relevance to contemporary international relations. This is a book that will be used widely in undergraduate and postgraduate courses in diplomacy.” (Gilbert M. Khadiagala, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa)
