Diplomacy and the Future of World Order

Three scenarios for future approaches to peace and conflict diplomacy, explored through the lens of regional perspectives and security threats

Diplomacy in pursuit of peace and security faces severe challenges not seen in decades. The reemergence of strong states, discord in the UN Security Council, destabilizing transnational nonstate actors, closing space for civil society within states, and the weakening of the international liberal order all present new obstacles to diplomacy.

In Diplomacy and the Future of World Order, an international group of experts confronts these challenges to peace and conflict diplomacy — defined as the effort to manage others' conflicts, cope with great power competition, and deal with threats to the state system itself. In doing so, they consider three potential scenarios for world order where key states decide to go it alone, return to a liberal order, or collaborate on a case-by-case basis to address common threats and problems.

These three scenarios are then evaluated through the prism of regional perspectives from around the world and for their potential ramifications for major security threats including peacekeeping, nuclear nonproliferation, cyber competition, and terrorism. Editors Chester A. Crocker, Fen Osler Hampson, and Pamela Aall conclude the volume by identifying emerging types of diplomacy that may form the foundation for global peacemaking and conflict management in an uncertain future.

Reviews

"Crocker, Hampson, and Aall have assembled an impressive group of authors to offer a comprehensive assessment of global and regional challenges, with a useful focus on contrasting global scenarios. Their concept of 'peace and conflict diplomacy' is valuable and timely for scholars and practitioners alike." — Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America, former Director of Policy Planning, US State Department

"A very important book on how the United States should cope with a very different world. Essential for conflict resolution courses." — Roy Licklider, adjunct senior research scholar at the Saltzman Institute for War and Peace Studies and adjunct professor of political science, Columbia University

"A fully absorbing and informative study, "Diplomacy and the Future of World Order" is a timely and seminal study that should be considered as an essential, core addition to community, governmental, college, and university library Contemporary International Diplomacy collections in general, and National/International Security supplemental studies curriculums in particular." — Midwest Book Review

"This collection offers a valuable review of the successes, failures, and potential of international peacemaking and conflict management in the still unnamed post-post-Cold War era." — Foreign Affairs

"[T]he perspectives presented in this volume are broad, and the analysis diverse and considered." — Hague Journal of Diplomacy

"For students and practioners in diplomacy and international relations, the book serves as valuable bridge between post-Cold War thinking and the realities, they find themselves in." — H-Diplo
