Sasson Sofer

4.9/5 (13684 ratings)

Description:Comprehensive study of the diplomat and the diplomatic mission in Western civilization.The professional diplomat frequently takes a back seat in the public imagination to such figures as the great heads of state and leading military figures. In The Courtiers of Civilization, Sasson Sofer aims to restore the importance and reputation of the diplomat in Western civilization. Drawing on an exhaustive reading of the vast literature on diplomacy, from the late Renaissance forward, he fashions an engaging portrait of the diplomat’s milieu and lifestyle, his place in diplomatic rituals, and his role in international dialogue. Blending historical evidence, sociological analysis, and political thought, Sofer explores the vocational predicament faced by the diplomat, who must play many roles, including negotiator, honorable spy, horse trader, appeaser, and bureaucrat, while at the same time maneuvering in the world of rulers and warriors. Ultimately, the diplomat is a symbol of peace and a custodian of the virtues and norms of a civilized and functional international society—in sum a “courtier of civilization.”“Clearly a master of the literature in the field, Sasson Sofer has produced a concise yet comprehensive and very accessible book on the history of diplomacy and its current challenges, with thought being given to the possible future evolution of diplomatic practice.” — Erik Goldstein, coeditor of Guide to International Relations and DiplomacySasson Sofer is Professor of International Relations at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
