Overview

This edition of The Foreign Consuls Among Us is sub-headed Local Bridges to Globalism to convey the image of a two-way street on which local civic, business, and educational leaders may best engage with foreign consuls through the kind of micro-level diplomacy suggested in the text. To that end, the new chapters specifically discuss the role of these foreign officials in the development of commercial, economic, cultural and scientific relations between their countries and the U.S. locales where they are posted. All consuls who've been on the receiving end of cultural insensitivity, or have witnessed such encounters, often look for material that can be used for training colleagues and associates to field questions in these areas. For them, this book is also a reliable educational and informational tool to be shared with the communities where they serve.
