        Unofficial peace diplomacy

        Private peace entrepreneurs in conflict resolution processes

        by Lior Lehrs

        This book analyses the international phenomenon of private peace entrepreneurs. These are private citizens with no official authority who initiate channels of communication with official representatives from the other side of a conflict in order to promote a conflict resolution process. It combines theoretical discussion with historical analysis, examining four cases from different conflicts: Norman Cousins and Suzanne Massie in the Cold War, Brendan Duddy in the Northern Ireland conflict and Uri Avnery in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The book defines the phenomenon, examines the resources and activities of private peace entrepreneurs and their impact on the official diplomacy, and examines the conditions under which they can play an effective role in peace-making processes. This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16, Peace, justice and strong institutions.

        US public diplomacy in socialist Yugoslavia, 1950–70

        Soft culture, cold partners

        by Carla Konta

        The first comprehensive account of the public and cultural diplomacy campaigns carried out by the US in Yugoslavia during the height of the Cold War, this book examines the political role of culture in US-Yugoslav bilateral relations and the fluid links between information and propaganda. Tito allowed the US Information Agency and the State Department's cultural programmes to enter Yugoslavia, liberated from Soviet control. The exchange of intellectual and political personnel helped foster the US-Yugoslav relationship, yet it posed severe ideological challenges for both sides. By providing new insights into porous borders between freedom and coercion in Tito's regime, this book shows how public diplomacy acted as an external input for Yugoslav liberalisation and dissident movements. Using extensive archival research and interviews, Konta analyses the links between information and propaganda, and the unintended effects of propaganda beyond the control of producers and receivers.

        Mokusei!

        Eine Liebesgeschichte

        by Cees Nooteboom, Helga Beuningen

        In Tôkyô unterhalten sich ein Niederländer und ein Belgier über die zwei Gesichter Japans: die europäische (exotische, reine) Idee Japans und das wirkliche Japan. Der eine ist Diplomat, der andere Fotograf. Der Diplomat verhilft dem Fotografen zu einem Modell, mit dem er »typisch japanische« Aufnahmen vor dem Berg Fuji macht. Er verliebt sich unsterblich und kehrt in den folgenden fünf Jahren so oft wie möglich nach Japan zurück. Er ruiniert sich, vernachlässigt seine Freunde, fühlt sich in Holland unwirklich. Beim letzten Treffen wird der erste Fototermin wiederholt. Alles ist, als wäre die Zeit stehengeblieben, aber am Abend eröffnet ihm die Geliebte, daß sie heiraten werde.

        Britain in China

        by Robert Bickers

        This is a study of Britain's presence in China both at its peak, and during its inter-war dissolution in the face of assertive Chinese nationalism and declining British diplomatic support. Using archival materials from China and records in Britain and the United States, the author paints a portrait of the traders, missionaries, businessmen, diplomats and settlers who constituted "Britain-in-China", challenging our understanding of British imperialism there. Bickers argues that the British presence in China was dominated by urban settlers whose primary allegiance lay not with any grand imperial design, but with their own communities and precarious livelihoods. This brought them into conflict not only with the Chinese population, but with the British imperial government. The book also analyzes the formation and maintenance of settler identities, and then investigates how the British state and its allies brought an end to the reign of freelance, settler imperialism on the China coast. At the same time, other British sectors, missionary and business, renegotiated their own relationship with their Chinese markets and the Chinese state and distanced themselves from the settler British.

        Instruments of international order

        Internationalism and diplomacy, 1900-50

        by Thomas W. Bottelier, Jan Stöckmann

        During the first half of the twentieth century, world politics was reshaped in pursuit of a new international order. The ideological foundations of the 'new diplomacy' (and its fate during the interwar period) are well known. This book instead examines the practices of internationalism and diplomacy from the First Hague Conference of 1899 to the aftermath of the Second World War. By focusing on these practices, such as disarmament regimes or public diplomacy, and their use as instruments to build international order(s), it emphasises the constructed, contested, and experimental character of what subsequently became a standard repertoire of international politics. Essays from a range of interdisciplinary scholars address well-established principles such as self-determination, and also less prominent practices such as small arms control or parliamentary inquiry. The book makes a major contribution to the growing historiography on twentieth-century internationalism.

        by Sari Nusseibeh, Gabriele Gockel, Katharina Förs, Thomas Wollermann, Anthony David

        Der palästinensische Hochschullehrer und PLO-Diplomat Sari Nusseibeh, der im arabischen Teil Jerusalems aufwuchs, keine fünfzig Meter entfernt von dem Schriftsteller Amos Oz, in England studierte und nach dem Sechs-Tage-Krieg nach Hause zurückkehrte, ist ein Pendler zwischen den verfeindeten Seiten. In seiner Autobiographie erzählt er seine eigene Geschichte und die seines Volkes – und entwirft die Vision eines Landes, in dem Muslime, Juden und Christen harmonisch zusammenleben. „Ein feinsinniges, trauriges und humorvolles Erinnerungsbuch, das neues Licht auf die Tragödie des Israel-Palästina-Konflikts wirft, zugleich ein lebendiges Bild der palästinensischen Gesellschaft.“ Amos Oz
