商品簡介
Through mainly personal anecdotes from his fifteen years as a British diplomat (which ended in resignation), Ross argues that the status quo in diplomacy is not democratic, but a conceit that only an accepted elite understand and may therefore influence international affairs. The author's tales shed light into the dealings of the EU, the UN, and other diplomacy bodies over issues including Kosovo and the first and second wars in Iraq. He runs a diplomacy firm for poor and underrepresented governments and groups. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
