The essays examine these questions from a variety of theoretical and practical perspectives provided by scholars and diplomats from around the world and within the United States. A common focus of the collection is on how diplomacy's contribution to the effectiveness of foreign policy has been undervalued in the United States by governments, the foreign policy community, and academics. Together, the essays seek to raise awareness of American diplomacy conducted at all levels of government and society. They consider its future prospects in the context of America's economic difficulties and the anticipated further erosion of its international position. And they ask how American diplomacy may be strengthened in the interests of international peace and security, whether under a second term Obama administration or the leadership of a new president. 606 $aDiplomatic and consular service, American 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations administration 615 0$aDiplomatic and consular service, American. 676 $a327.73 701 $aSharp$b Paul$f1953-$01662081 701 $aWiseman$b Geoffrey$01662082 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824740203321 996 $aAmerican diplomacy$94018442 997 $aUNINA
