Power, Security, and Diplomacy in a Transforming Global Order

Power, security, and diplomacy shape the contemporary international system as the global order transforms politically, economically, and technologically. The rise of new powers, alliances, threats, and geopolitical competition challenge traditional approaches to stability and cooperation among states. In this environment, nations must balance strategic interests, security concerns, and diplomatic engagement to address complex global issues like conflict, climate change, cybersecurity, and economic interdependence. Understanding the relationship between power, security, and diplomacy may further reveal how states can navigate change and influence the future direction of international relations. Power, Security, and Diplomacy in a Transforming Global Order explores how power and diplomacy are reconfigured in the 21st century in response to shifting security environments, rapid technological change, and evolving forms of global governance. It examines a wide range of contemporary issues, including regional security dynamics, states of exception, digital diplomacy, AI, soft power, and the role of culture, education, and knowledge production in foreign policy. This book covers topics such as international relations, soft power, and cognitive warfare, and is a useful resource for government officials, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and political scientists.
