Home Engagement in Diplomacy
Global Affairs and Domestic Publics
Series: - Diplomatic Studies, Volume: 23
How do governments engage their own citizens in global affairs? Home Engagement in Diplomacy explores the emerging practice of âhome engagement,â where diplomacy reaches beyond traditional state actors to interact directly with society. This volume examines how domestic audiences influence foreign policy, the challenges governments face in fostering meaningful dialogue, and the diverse approaches seen across democracies and authoritarian states. Featuring fresh empirical insights and multiple theoretical perspectives, this book offers a ground-breaking look at diplomacyâs evolving role in an interconnected world.
