Brilliant account of the new diplomacy

If you think international diplomacy is an obscure art practiced by cynical men in grey suits, think again. Axworthy's book chronicles the rise of a new way of conducting international relations, one based not on fear and might, but on humanity, democracy and civility -- principles which all Canadians hold dear. The chapter on the process to ban anti-personnel landmines is a particularly inspiring example of how governments and civil society can work together to overcome an urgent humanitarian crisis. Axworthy peppers his essays with the fascinating inside stories behind the official accounts. This page-turner is an eye-opener to the real world of international relations and diplomacy. But don't take my word for it, read the "Editorial Reviews" - each gives Axworthy's book an excellent review.
