Societizing Diplomacy or Diplomatizing Society?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

This chapter presents diplomacy as a distinctive and valuable social practice. It argues that students of diplomacy should shift their attention from applying the insights of other social practices to how diplomats should act in a public environment populated by social actors. Instead of looking at the societization of diplomacy, they should be researching, theorizing, and advocating for the diplomaticization of social actors and the conditions under which this is more and less likely to occur.
