Schnitt 4 cm durch Cover, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / Cut 4 cm through cover, otherwise perfect condition - In this classic text, an eminent historian of international affairs and a distinguished political scientist bring the rich experience of the past to bear upon the perplexities that confront today's diplomats. Surveying the evolution of the international system from the emergence of the modern state in the seventeenth century to the present, and paying particular attention to the nineteenth century's balance-of-power system, principles of which still determine many of the usages of modern diplomacy, the authors show how this classical system has been profoundly altered by a twentieth-century diplomatic revolution: a complex of political, economic, military, and ideological factors that has destroyed the homogeneity of the international community and confronted diplomats with new problems and the need to find new expedients to deal with them. -- The revised Second Edition brings this argument up to date with entirely new chapters on the evolution of the United Nations, crisis prevention, and U.S.-Soviet cooperation, as well as a new analysis of the current international system and expanded coverage of the Reagan years. It remains an essential resource for students of international relations, American foreign policy, and diplomatic history.
