The End of Diplomacy? The Challenges of Multilateralism

The demands and evolution of globalization have transformed diplomacy in the past 30 years. At a moment where diplomatic practices and the pressures imposed on diplomats are radically changing and the actors and channels of communication are becoming more diffuse, there is a need to understand the various forces that affect interstate relations. What will these changes bring to geopolitical interests, multilateral diplomacy, and the host of issues—old and new—on the global agenda: food security, human rights, and the economy?
