Abstract

Eva Jarring Corones' memoir, 'Never Marry a Diplomat,' explores her life from childhood in Sweden to her experiences across the globe as the daughter of a Swedish diplomat. Through vivid memories and reflections, she examines her complex relationship with her mother, a diplomat's wife who was deeply immersed in the social expectations of her role. The memoir delves into themes of identity, belonging, and the personal sacrifices required in diplomatic life. Corones provides a candid look at how her mother's role impacted her family dynamics and her own development. The book is intended for readers interested in memoirs, diplomatic history, and personal narratives of family and identity.

Abstract

N'y aurait-il qu'une chance sur cent de réussir qu'il faudrait essayer. Comment organiser la coexistence pacifique de sept millions de Juifs et de huit millions de Palestiniens ? Les uns et les autres y sont chez eux. Il faut regarder vers l'avenir dans une région accablée d'histoire et laisser parler la raison sur une terre où on invoque trop facilement Dieu. » Les violences atroces perpétrées par le Hamas le 7 octobre 2023 sur la population israélienne et leurs terribles conséquences sur le peuple palestinien ont ravivé les passions d'un conflit que l'on croyait dissous dans l'indifférence. Sur le mode du récit, Gérard Araud revient sur ses souvenirs, ses rencontres marquantes lors de son premier poste à Tel-Aviv, puis comme ambassadeur. Il raconte ce pays complexe qu'il a vu en vingt ans changer du tout au tout et décrypte le conflit israélo-palestinien : sa radicalisation, ses rendez-vous manqués avec la paix, la violence de la colonisation en Cisjordanie… En diplomate, il dresse quelques pistes pour l'avenir et démontre que pour réussir, il faudra commencer par oublier l'Histoire. Une Histoire si contradictoire qu'elle n'est qu'un piège pour s'y égarer.

Abstract

'The Face of the Nation' studies women's leadership and gender relations across some of the worst performing and most male-dominated spheres of state - international affairs. Exploring the stories from almost 80 global women leaders, as well as institutional histories and policies across diplomacy, defense, national security, policing, and intelligence, this book seeks to understand why women remain under-represented on the global stage, despite many changing social and policy norms. Using Australia as a leading case study, the book extends theories on gender and international institutions to understand the gendered, racialized, and heteronormative structures that continue to limit and impact on diverse women's leadership and participation internationally.

Abstract

This is an open access book. As the world continues to recover from the fear and uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic, a new set of challenges like increased geopolitical tensions and climate change have become increasingly prominent. This open access book, which contains the views of ambassadors to Beijing on topics ranging from bilateral relations to potential cooperation, global development and even more of the most immediate issues, aims to help readers make sense of our changing world and China’s role in it. Building on the success of our previous volume China and the World in a Changing Context: Perspectives from Ambassadors to China, the Center for China and Globalization (CCG) has invited 27 ambassadors to examine China’s role in this context of constant flux, focusing specifically on China’s perspective, including its trade and investment ties with other countries, as well as its role in multilateralregional relations and global governance. These diplomatic envoys from countries around the world serve as pivotal contact points between nations across a wide range of fields, from economics and culture to health and the environment. Their perspectives, representing both developing and industrialized countries, are both invaluable and illuminating—not only in conveying the views and experiences of their own country, but also for their insights into global affairs and China’s development. It is our hope that the views expressed in this volume will inspire even more discussion on the next best step to take in finding solutions to the problems we face, and in particular how China can use its own experience and wisdom to better contribute and engage with the world in finding solutions together. This book provides a wealth of perspective and insight that we hope will benefit not only academics and policy makers, but also the private sector and individuals. .
