In an impatient and reconfiguring world, diplomacy reveals its best face: the exercise of dialogue, reason, and negotiation as pathways to resolve conflicts and build the future. This book brings together the reflections and experiences of Shlomo Ben Ami, Vesna Pusié, Cecilia Malmstrom, J ordi Xucla, Miodrag Vlahovié and Tinatin Khidasheli, figures who have negotiated, shaped and lived power through their diplomatic, ministerial, parliamentary and academic responsibilities.
From their own trajectories, the authors explore international action on the ground, where political decisions meet human and geopolitical complexity.
Shlomo Ben Ami bears witness to his study of international relations and the practice of diplomacy, also analysing the Middle East conflict. Vesna Pusié proposes a new project of democracy, revisiting the peace finally achieved in the Balkans and Croatia's entry into the European project. Cecilia Malmstrom examines the expansion and readjustment of the liberal democratic project in an interdependent world. Jordi Xucla observes the Balkans and the South Caucasus as new laboratories of Euro pean integration and stability. Miodrag Vlahovié recounts the patient construction of Montenegro's independence and international recognition. Tinatin Khidasheli presents Georgia's European vocation as a rational and strategic choice.
