The meaning of "community" in the modern world has been redefined by the advances of technology, the globalization of the economy, and the international response to environmental and humanitarian needs. In this context, a new approach to diplomacy as a guiding force is essential.

World Diplomacy explores the creative and uniting force of diplomacy in all types of relationships. This book is a blend of political theory, psychology, idealism, and common sense. It reveals how diplomacy can replace ideology, partisan politics, and nationalism as the political framework in a world which maintains diversity while working for a common purpose.

The emphasis in World Diplomacy is that the choices made by individuals and governments in the next few years will decide how humanity will be able to live on this planet beyond the twentieth century. It presents alternative ideas and approaches upon which to make those choices. This book presents a hopeful and pro-active approach to international relations based on improving the quality of life for future generations.
