Statecraft, or the art of conducting a state's affairs with other states, is as old as human civilization. So too is diplomacy, the form statecraft takes in time of peace.In this comprehensive treatment, distinguished diplomat Chas Freeman describes the fundamental principles of the art of statecraft and the craft of diplomacy. The book draws on the author's years of experience as a practicing diplomat but also his extensive reading of the histories of ancient India, China, Greece, Rome, Byzantium, and the Islamic world as well as modern Europe, Asia, and the Americas.Among numerous other subjects, the book addresses the role of intelligence, political actions, cultural influence, economic measures, and military power, as well as diplomatic strategy and tactics, negotiation, and the tasks and skills of diplomacy.

Phil C. Bunn
5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding analysis of the role of the diplomat.
Reviewed in the United States on 24 August 2015
Verified Purchase
Superb articulation by an experienced and reflective diplomat of why statecraft and diplomacy is a crucial element of national power and why its role is essential in the search for a peaceful international order. The insight into the role of the diplomat and the measures employed in statecraft to resolve disputes is an important element in the understanding of today's world conflicts and anyone interested in the resolution of these conflicts and the activities of our national diplomats should read this book. The advantages inherent in the conduct of international diplomacy shows why the nuclear arms treaty with Iran is essential to the prospects of peace in the middle east. I wish I had been able to read this book as an undergraduate as the information contained within is also applicable to many aspects of living. Every citizen should read this book.

I use this book in my Ethics course, to help students understand office politics. If my students don't understand office politics and how to maneuver, they might be drawn into unethical behavior. The book is also important for new faculty members who want to get along, while honoring other faculty members.

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging and concise introduction to Diplomacy
Reviewed in the United States on 1 October 2006
Verified Purchase
This book is a excellent introduction for people into diplomacy and statecraft. In its brief pages, you learn all the definitions, such as the functions of a embassy or a consulate, the way to conduct state relations, the skills for diplomacy, a topic about Intelligence and much more.

Now I understand why sometimes an ambassador is call for consultation!
