    Ten on a Topic: Diplomacy, Its History, Practice, and People Rona Simmons, September 22, 2020 Toward the end of his book on Diplomacy, Henry Kissinger writes, “The emerging international system is far more complex than any previously encountered by American diplomacy.” In my reading on diplomacy I learned how true these words are and what a challenge the practice and indeed “art” of diplomacy are. The ten books I selected on diplomacy cannot possibly capture all of the topic’s facets, but they provide an excellent overview. The list is diverse, from books on the history of international relations to first-hand accounts from people who have devoted their lives to foreign service, to biographies of statesmen, and a work of narrative nonfiction. Following my comments are those from Jonathan S. Addleton who has spent most of his life abroad in service to our country. As he departed from an assignment in Afghanistan, he wrote in his book, The Dust of Kandahar, that he had “the lingering hope that our conversations may actually lead to something,” His was a remark I found expressed in different words by several of the authors below (Note: unless noted otherwise the comments that follow are my own.) General Background and History 1. Diplomacy by Henry Kissinger (Simon and Schuster, 1994) At 836 pages, the very large tome Diplomacy befits its author, the fifty-sixth secretary of state, politician, diplomat, geopolitical consultant and Harvard professor. What list of books on diplomacy could possibly exclude this one? Kissinger takes the reader across centuries of world history, illuminating the present through an examination of the past.

  • Role of Migration in Development: Pakistan and the Gulf
    ADDLETON: PAKISTANI MIGRATION AND THE GULF ministration would have drastic consequences for U.S. foreign relations. William LeoGrande and Carla Robbins have contended that: U.S. intervention, whether in the form of massive military aid or U.S. troops, would be a diplomatic disaster both regionally and globally ... It would wreak havoc with our relations with the Third World; the diplomatic and moral advantage which the U.S. has reaped from events in Afghanistan would be completely lost. 7 Expanded U.S. military involvement in El Salvador would also deflect criticism from any possible Soviet intervention in Poland, as the world would be presented with simultaneous, politically offsetting, examples of superpower intervention in neighboring countries. In conclusion, emphasis of a negotiated settlement leading toward free elec- tion would be not only diplomatically advantageous for U.S. policy, but the ethically responsible~choice for the eventual attainment of social justice and democracy in El Salvador. The large-scale migration by Pakis- tani workers to Arab countries along The Role of the Gulf, forms a vital part of a recent Migration in movement that today involves at least three million other foreign workers. Development: Migrant communities exceed national populations in the United Arab Pakistan and the Emirates, Qatar, and Kuwait, and they represent more than 40 percent Gulf of the labor force in Bahrain and JONATHAN ADDLETON* Saudi Arabia. The magnitude of the migration affects both donor and re- cipient countries. The disparity between national populations and migrant workers has led to fears that migrants may in the future threaten the internal 57.
