Ethics and Statecraft : The Moral Dimension of International Affairs

This text offers "a set of portraits of key leaders struggling with great moral issues in critical political settings".

The use of political biographies to illustrate the exercise of statecraft during periods of war, in peacemaking and in times of major change cuts to the heart of the role of ethics in the decision-making process and in international affairs.

The book should be useful inter-disciplinary reading for courses in diplomatic history, ethics, international relations, political leadership and political philosophy.
