This book details the history and evolution of, as well as the present challenges facing, the U.S. Foreign Service. This is the 2nd edition of the book, published in 2011 and very informative. The authors do a good job compiling information from interviews with various FSOs and show the good and bad of the Service. I consider it a must-read for anyone interested in applying. The authors explain the various uses of the Foreign Service and the current challenges of developing military and civilian cooperation in the U.S. practice of nation building in places like the Middle East. Current controversies are detailed, along with recruitment practices, policies for advancement, salary scales, etc. This book is basically a one-stop shop for information and contains pages of highly entertaining stories from the field. 5 stars out of 5. ( ) This is not a general interest book. Career Diplomacy is, however, a MUST READ for anyone considering a career in diplomacy or already in the midst of the application process. Most readers with a cursory interest in diplomacy or statecraft are better served with more journalistic fare. Those already working for the State Department or other Federal agencies with employees abroad don't need this book because they have lived experiences. But if you are a potential or actual job applicant and really want to know the nuts and bolts of a job in Foreign Service this book is essential. This book will provide you with concrete information about what is expected of you, the application processes, the strengths and weaknesses of the system, tips on how to advance your career, and future trends in diplomacy. It will help you make decisions about your career and may even provide some additional confidence to help with your candidacy. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Ronald Neumann, former US ambassador and president of the American Academy of Diplomacy, called the second edition of Career Diplomacy a "must-read for those seeking understanding of today's foreign service." In this third edition Kopp and Naland, both of whom had distinguished careers in the field, provide an authoritative and candid account of the foreign service, exploring the five career tracks--consular, political, economic, management, and public diplomacy--through their own experience and through interviews with over one hundred current and former foreign service officials. The book includes significant revisions and updates from the previous edition, such as: Obama administration's use of the foreign service; a thorough discussion of the relationship of the foreign service and the Department of State to other agencies, and to the combatant commands; an expanded analysis of hiring procedures; commentary on challenging management issues in the Department of State, including the proliferation of political appointments, the rapid growth in the number of high-level positions, and the difficulties of running an agency with employees in two personnel systems (civil service and foreign service); and a fresh examination of the changing nature and demographics of the foreign service. Includes a glossary, bibliography, and list of websites and blogs on the subject. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
