The psychology of diplomacy

"The Psychology of Diplomacy" is a seminal work that examines the psychological dimensions of diplomatic interactions. Edited by Harvey J. Langholtz and Chris E. Stout, the book features contributions from twelve leading diplomats and psychologists who explore the implicit and explicit ground rules governing diplomatic engagements. The text delves into critical questions regarding the objectives of diplomats, such as whether they aim to achieve agreements for the common benefit of humanity or seek advantages for their own nations. Topics covered include ethnic rivalry, water resources, and financial issues, highlighting the complex interplay between psychological factors and diplomatic practices. The book is part of the "Psychological Dimensions to War and Peace" series and is intended for students, scholars, and practitioners in psychology, international relations, peace studies, and political science
