Military doctrine has been an essential part of any grand strategy for more than a century. But a diplomatic equivalent has never existed, leaving a gap in statecraft. With "Diplomatic Tradecraft," the first practical diplomacy textbook, Nicholas Kralev and colleagues at the Washington International Diplomatic Academy have taken a step toward creating a body of interrelated operational concepts describing how to influence the behavior of other states and people by mostly nonviolent means. They teach skills that, in the past, could be learned only on the job.
“Diplomatic Tradecraft” brings together 18 career diplomats with decades of experience to lift the curtain on a mysterious but vital profession, and to pass on the insights and abilities they gained to those who will succeed them. With compelling narratives, case studies and exercises, the book forms a cohesive and comprehensive volume.
Join USIP to mark the book's publication, and for a conversation on the current state of U.S. and global diplomacy, its impact on real people's lives, and the urgent need for governments to rethink their approaches to recruiting and training diplomats.

The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for U.S. and global security. In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully. The Institute pursues its mission by linking research, policy, training, analysis and direct action to support those who are working to build a more peaceful, inclusive world.
