Research, ideas, and leadership for a more secure, peaceful world
The Future of Diplomacy Project invites you to join us as we celebrate the release of fellow Philippe Leroux-Martin's new book "Diplomatic Counterinsurgency".
This compelling eyewitness account of a key political crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2007 demonstrates how interventions from foreign powers to end armed conflict can create new forms of conflict that are not only as determined and resilient, but can lead groups to challenge the power of fragile states through political and legal means. Countering such challenges is an integral but often ignored part of peace processes. How do these nonviolent wars evolve? How can the power of fragile states be challenged through nonviolent means in the aftermath of armed conflict? And what is the role of diplomacy in countering such challenges? This book offers key insights for policy makers dealing with fragile states who seek answers to such questions. - Cambridge University Press
"This fascinating and essential book catalogues the vital importance of diplomacy in the world today. Philippe Leroux-Martin gives us an insider's view of how Bosnia was put back together after the war." – Nicholas Burns, Faculty Director, The Future of Diplomacy Project
