Foreign Policy Breakthroughs: Cases in Successful Diplomacy

Drawing from a deep reservoir of historical research, Foreign Policy Breakthroughs aims to reinvent diplomacy for our current era. The original and comparative research by an outstanding group of international contributors examines nine varied cases: post-World War II relief, the rise of the non-aligned movement, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the U.S. opening to China, the Camp David accords, the reunification of Germany, the creation and enlargement of the European Union, the completion of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and relief aid to Afghanistan. The book closes with systematic reflections on how current diplomats can apply lessons from the past to contemporary challenges.
