Описание: Both colonial and postcolonial historical approaches often sideline New Zealand as a peripheral player. This book redresses the balance, and evaluates its role as an imperial power - as both a powerful imperial envoy and a significant presence in the Pacific region. -- .

Описание: Diplomatic Ladies tells the inside story of New Zealands diplomatic wives and daughters over a hundred years of diplomacy. Based on private letters, MFAT archives and personal interviews, it records many unknown episodes in New Zealands diplomatic history, including the part played by the spouses in Baghdad during the first Gulf War, and the perils faced by diplomatic wives in Saigon and Tehran. It also gives a unique insight into the workings of diplomatic life and the role of the diplomatic hostess. Starting with Maud Pember Reeves in 1907, the author traces the evolution of New Zealands diplomatic service through the experiences of the women who accompanied their husbands to posts all over the world. It is a life full of interest and excitement, but in terms of family relationships and personal fulfilment, it comes at a price that many modern women are not prepared to pay. In this frank and authoritative account of what living on the cocktail party circuit is really like, the author pulls no punches about the downsides, especially the toll that it takes on the children. Nor does she shrink from recounting a few incidents in which wives or partners have been less than diplomatic. This is a collection of exciting and entertaining stories which not only shows what the wives have contributed to New Zealands diplomacy, but also reveals the true nature of the diplomatic world.
Описание: This memoir of a US diplomat attempts to capture the humor and sheer incongruity of working across cultures in an international career spanning diplomacy and education. Written in a light hearted tone, it also delves into tragic consequences in countries such as Somalia, Libya and Greece.

Описание: Parker's experiences in the Foreign Service shed light on many aspects of U.S. diplomacy in the Near East, an area of continuing interest and concern today. In this memoir, Richard Parker takes a look at his own life, the people and times around him, and comments on the thorny Middle East issues and the foreign and domestic potentates with whom he dealt. He writes tellingly of his (sometimes perilous) service in Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and as U.S. ambassador in Algeria, Lebanon, and Morocco. His memoir not only offers a first-person viewpoint and analysis of historic events and personalities but also finds the humor in many of them. "Replete as it is with insights and intriguing details about the formation and execution of America's Middle East policy, Parker's memoir is a useful addition to the history of the period from the 1960's to the 1990's. It is also an informative and authoritative look into the practical problems facing an active diplomat trying to carry out (as well as shape) his government's policy in fast-moving and sometimes dangerous situations." ―Gordon Brown "This memoir has fascinating insights into history. Parker's comments on the personal issues that lay behind the deterioration of US-Egyptian relations before the 1967 Egyptian-Israeli war is one such account. His vivid description of a special mission to Yemen weaves in discussion of how Yemeni issues fit into and made more difficult our relations with Egypt and complicated relations with Saudi Arabia. There are a great many such insights and 'pen-portraits' that contribute to history and keep the book moving along." ― Ambassador Ronald E. Neumann (ret., President American Academy of Diplomacy

Описание:
"In Abroad for Her Country, Jean M. Wilkowski shares the story of her extraordinary career in the U.S. Foreign Service during the last half of the twentieth century. Born in an era when few women sought professional careers, Wilkowski graduated from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College and the University of Wisconsin and then rose through the ranks at the Department of State, from Vice Consul to the first woman U.S. Ambassador to an African country and the first woman acting U.S. Ambassador in Latin America.
During her thirty-five-year diplomatic career, Wilkowski was sent first as a vice consul to the Caribbean during World War II, when the Department of State was "even taking in 4-Fs and women." She moved on to more challenging assignments in Latin America and Europe. For much of her career, she specialized in protecting and promoting U.S. trade and investment interests in such posts as Paris, Milan, Rome, Santiago, and Geneva. She also served during a revolution in Bogot?, attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa, and the war between El Salvador and Honduras, when she called in U.S. humanitarian aid for 50,000 war-displaced persons. In 1977 she became coordinator of the U.S. preparation for the 1979 United Nations Conference on Science and Technology in Vienna. She worked closely with Notre Dame president Theodore Hesburgh, head of the U.S. delegation, and accompanied the delegation on its fact-finding visit to the Peoples' Republic of China.
