Reviews
'Dialogue is a being-in-the-world between assimilation on the one hand, and war on the other. The authors rightly stress how it is not for the immature. It requires sang froid, self-control, patience and tenacity. It is an idea and a practice that deserves the rich and timely celebration on display here.' Iver Neumann, London School of Economics, UK 'Today, dialogue is heralded as the main currency of statecraft, diplomacy, negotiation, mediation and peacebuilding. Yet what exactly it is and isn't, when it works, when it backfires, and how to employ it most effectively in the geopolitical context is still in question. This book provides answers. Informed by compelling case studies and analyses by renowned experts, it sharpens our understanding of the concept and practice of dialogue. It will be essential reading for diplomats, scholars and students of peace, conflict and international affairs for many years to come.' Peter Coleman, Columbia University, USA
