Long Needed Treatise, But Too ExpensiveBy Robert David STEELE VivasEDIT of 11 December 2011: Gene Poteat, President of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO) has an excellent review of this book in the Summer/Fall 2011 issue of Intelligencer. The following quote is from his review, it captures the essence with perfection:"The weakness and deteriorating standing of America in the world today is the failure to take into account the role of information, disinformation, ideas, values, culture, and religion plays in the influence and conduct of foreign and national security policy."While the above glosses over the corporate capture and abject corruption of all three branches of the Federal government, it certainly summarizes and recommends the book in question. See also my graphic, "Information Pathologies," loaded above next to cover.End EditIn the midst of an economic depression, it is a real shame to see a book that is so very relevant to unscrewing the Republic, and also see the same book terribly over-priced. At 230 pages this book should be offered at 24.95, and a donor should be found to permit the author to speak to the Department of State via the Secretary's Open Forum, with a free copy of the book to every person attending.The author is the founder of the Institute of World Politics, a rather unique institution that offers three Masters programs and that strives to do what no other university can claim: to teach a mastery of all of the instruments of national power, and to teach how culture, ethics, strategy, and philosophy can come together to drive Whole of Government planning, programming, budgeting, and execution so as to advance both the prosperity and the protection of the Republic.This book came to my attention after I found and truly enjoyed another book out of the Institute of World Policy, by Cultural Intelligence for Winning the Peace by Juliana Geran Pilon. Everything I read about the Institute, or by those associated with it, offers a very strong, coherent, culturally- compelling vision of how to advance positive values inherent in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.Where the author and the book are strongest--beyond five stars--is in their emphasis, insight, and coherence with respect to public diplomacy as a much needed "first string" activity. Today what passes for public diplomacy at the Department of State is a couple of ladies who came up through television broadcasting, are gaga over Silicon Valley, and appear to have no idea how to actually engage in Information Operations (IO), how to create an Autonomous Internet with Liberation Technology including OpenBTS, or even what concepts and cultural values we should be striving to share with the rest of the world.I suspect the author and I may differ on the role of intelligence--he came up in an era when intelligence was about secret war, strategic analytics (when not demeaned by politicized directors of central intelligence), and an absolute focus on tearing the Soviet Union apart. I came up from the Third World side, and led the totally unsuccessful fight after the demise of the Soviet Union to get one third of the National Intelligence Topics (NIT) directed toward unconventional, asymmetric, and failed state environments, and especially the Southern Hemisphere as a whole. I have also led the Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) movement that 90 countries now get (but not the USA), and am focused now on M4IS2: multinational, multiagency, multidisciplinary, multidomain informtion-sharing and sense-making. I believe a national intelligence community with integrity should not only provide Whole of Government intelligence, but also help the President see how immediately we can cut secret intelligence and defense contracting to achieve savings while also redirecting at least $200 billion toward public diplomacy and strategic commerce as well as global education and influence operations.Here are a few books that I have been able to enjoy overtime that I believe are complementary to the author's offering, but his book stands alone today, I know of no other that even comes close to addressing what I consider to be a most righteous term, "full spectrum diplomacy."Strategic Intelligence and Statecraft: Selected Essays (Brassey's Intelligence National Security Library)Modern StrategyThe Search for Security: A U.S. Grand Strategy for the Twenty-First CenturyGrand Strategies: Literature, Statecraft, and World OrderIntelligence Power in Peace and WarOn Intelligence: Spies and Secrecy in an Open WorldTHE SMART NATION ACT: Public Intelligence in the Public InterestThe World Is Open: How Web Technology Is Revolutionizing Education (Wiley Desktop Editions)The Leadership of Civilization Building: Administrative and civilization theory, Symbolic Dialogue, and Citizen Skills for the 21st Century Full Spectrum Diplomacy and Grand Strategy: Reforming the Structure and Culture of U.S. Foreign Policy, by John Lenczowski, offers a solution to one of the greatest weaknesses in U.S. foreign policy that has exacerbated the unprecedented anti-Americanism of recent yearsmdash;the U.S. Government's inability to conduct the 'full spectrum' of diplomatic arts and to integrate them with the other arts of statecraft at the level of grand strategy. The analysis presents a critique of how the Department of State's focus on traditional, government-to-government diplomacy comes at the expense of public diplomacy. 'Public Diplomacy' is defined in the broadest sense as including all those arts that involve relations with, and influence over, foreign publics and opinion leaders, including: cultural diplomacy, exchanges, information policy, strategic communications, psychological strategy, political action, political warfare, and wars of ideas. Author John Lenczowski, one of the first modern advocates for the strategic integration of all the instruments of national power, calls for the development of an 'influence culture' in U.S. foreign policy, and provides a road map for the reform of the structure and culture of American diplomacy. While addressing contemporary U.S. foreign policy, this study presents lessons in statecraft and grand strategy that are applicable for all times and places. Full Spectrum Diplomacy and Grand Strategy thus raises issues that are relevant not only to diplomats, but to practitioners of intelligence, counterintelligence, military strategy, and economic statecraft. In the long war of our time?against the Islamists' terror and their push for the world-wide imposition of shariah?we have so far failed to organize our government to win the crucial battle for mankind's minds and hearts. John Lenczowski gives us a brilliantly conceived and innovative strategy to win this war just as we won the Cold War. Look out, Muslim Brotherhood-here comes LibForAll. (R. James Woolsey, former Director of the CIA; Chairman, Woolsey Partners LLC)Dr. John Lenczowski brings the full force of a distinguished career in foreign policy and academia to the vitally important issues of American diplomacy in our troubled era. With the keen eye of both a practitioner and a grand strategist, he shows how our lack of appreciation for the influence culture that results from using a wide range of diplomatic tools has hindered American interests. But he goes beyond mere complaints to specific solutions?in areas ranging from public diplomacy to counterintelligence to cultural influence, Dr. Lenczowski shows how America and the world could benefit from an integrated strategy. This is must reading for foreign policy professionals and engaged patriots alike.

Science and Diplomacy: The Past as Prologue Vaughan C. Turekian and Norman P. Neureiter HIS past December marked twenty years since the dissolution of the Soviet TUnion quietly and peacefully ended the Cold War. While that era saw the Cuban Missile Crisis, proxy wars, and policies of mutual assured destruction, it was also a period when people on both sides of the conflict looked for ways to bridge differences and increase the chances for peace and resolution. In a 1985 address to the nation days before meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev for the first time, President Ronald Reagan stated “We can find, as yet undiscovered, avenues where American and Soviet citizens can cooperate fruitfully for the benefit of mankind . In science and technology, we could launch new joint space ventures and establish joint medical research projects.” Two years later, John Negroponte, the President’s Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES), further articulated the Administration’s view during congressional testimony: “It would be short-sighted of us not to recognize that it is in our national interest to seek to expand scientific cooperation with the Soviet Union.” In many ways, the Cold War was a time of highly effective use of science diplomacy to build bridges and connections despite the existence of great political tensions.

ABSTRACT Regional governments can be international actors. This phenomenon of regional governments developing international relations, often called ‘paradiplomacy,’ has been most visible in Western industrialized liberal- democracies. In thinking about paradiplomacy in developing and post- communist countries, considering the experience of regions such as Quebec, Catalonia, the Basque Country, Flanders and Wallonia could be instructive for understanding the logic of this activity, highlighting key choices that need to be made, and pointing out potential challenges stemming from the development by sub-state units of international relations. This paper begins by distinguishing between three layers of paradiplomacy and makes the argument that paradiplomacy can be a multifunctional vehicle for the promotion of interests and identity. It then discusses the various choices that have to be made when developing a paradiplomacy, including designing new structures and selecting partners.

  • Diplomatic Processes and Cultural Variations: the Relevance of Culture in Diplomacy
    Diplomatic Processes and Cultural Variations: The Relevance of Culture in Diplomacy by Wilfried Bolewski Let us not be blind to our differences—but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. John F. Kennedy, American University, June 10, 1963. The relationship between diplomacy and culture has been somewhat neglected in recent academic and practical studies,1 even though competence and understanding during intercultural exchanges unites societies and facilitates further intercultural interactions. Current public discussions concentrate exclusively on the existence of cultural commonalities and universal values all cultures share.2 However, determining likenesses among cultures should be secondary to the awareness of cultural differences as the logical starting point for the evaluation of intercultural commonalities. Intercultural sensitivity within groups paves the way for the acceptance and tolerance of other cultures and allows members to be open to values which are universal among all groups, such as law and justice, which globalized society should then build upon together. Facing the challenges of an increasingly complex world, the question of interdependency between diplomatic processes and cultural variations becomes relevant: is there a shared professional culture in diplomacy apart from national ones, and if so, does it influence diplomacy? To what extent can research into national cultures help diplomacy and governments to understand international interactions? DEFINITION OF “CULTURE”3 General definition Before analyzing the interdependency between culture and diplomacy, it is necessary to state what the word culture implies.

This principle has been a driving force throughout the great ideological experiment known as democracy. From childhood, we are told that people who commit crimes must answer for them. However, the simplistic nature of this notion fails to capture the whole truth of the nuanced system of international law. International law permits certain individuals to escape accountability for their crimes. For centuries, the principle of diplomatic immunity has enabled foreign diplomats to avoid prosecution for violations of the host country's laws. 1 The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, to which the United States is a party, has codified customary international law.2 The Vienna Convention grants diplomats, their families, and diplomatic property numerous protections.

  • Toward a New Diplomatic History of Medieval and Early Modern Europe
    a Toward a New Diplomatic History of Medieval and Early Modern Europe John Watkins University of Minnesota Minneapolis, Minnesota The time has come for a multidisciplinary reevaluation of one of the old- est, and traditionally one of the most conservative, subfields in the modern discipline of history: the study of premodern diplomacy. Diplomatic studies are often bracketed aside from other areas of investigation and seem imper- meable to theoretical and methodological innovations that have transformed almost every other sector of the profession. Scholars interested in race, eth- nicity, gender, sexuality, subalternity, and new modes of intellectual history have occasionally used diplomatic sources, but they have rarely investigated the diplomatic practices that created those sources in the first place. The modern cross-disciplinary study of international relations has broadened the discussion of diplomatic issues for later historical periods, but the presentist biases of that conversation — centered on nineteenth-century understand- ings of the nation — have limited its application to the medieval and early modern periods. Nor has diplomacy figured significantly in the dialogue with his- tory that has transformed literary studies within the last three decades. In some ways, nothing could be stranger than the literary critic’s lack of atten- tion to diplomatic theory and practice. Many of the most familiar figures in European literary canons spent a significant portion of their career in diplomatic service, such as Petrarch, Chaucer, Wyatt, Sidney, Tasso, and Montaigne. Diplomacy also figures in the careers of newly discovered and newly rediscovered women writers such as Veronica Gàmbara and Margue- rite de Navarre. But an emphasis on power relationships within individual polities characterizes literary study in the wake of new historicism.

  • Changing Diplomacy Demands New Type of Diplomats
    Institute of Cultural Diplomacy’s International Conference. The Future of U.S. Foreign Policy: “The Revival of Soft Power and Cultural Diplomacy?” January 4-6, 2011 Washington DC. Changing Diplomacy Demands New Type of Diplomats Judit Trunkos University of South Carolina Judit Trunkos is a PhD Student at the University of South Carolina focusing on International Relations, Globalization and Diplomacy. This brief work is a summary of a larger, more quantitative paper, which proposes to examine the changes in modern diplomacy and to create the first database for measuring the changes caused by globalization. Judit Trunkos Changing Diplomacy Demands New Type of Diplomats Globalization and economic interdependence alters diplomacy and therefore changes the skill-set needed for diplomats. While in the past, diplomats negotiated with the political ideology and military alliance of their government in mind, today economic and business benefits and transparency towards the public are behind negotiations. Whereas in traditional diplomacy before globalization, the most important features of a diplomat were his or her family and social status, combined with military experience, today it is specialized education in business and public relations. In this new globalized political-economic environment, the only way to conduct successful diplomacy is to adjust to the new game. Changing Diplomacy Since the end of the Cold War the role of ideology in diplomacy has decreased (Leguey-Feilleux, 2009). However, just as Leguey-Feilleux observed the diminishing nature of ideology in diplomacy, he makes the same mistake as the other scholars listed below. They make an observation from a strictly political or a strictly economic perspective, and do not examine globalization’s effects on diplomacy.
