Summary/Abstract |
Similar to its status in the last twenty to forty years, the United Nations is still a landmark on the global political landscape. It is still the forefront for key events to unfold, a shrine to secure a blessing for a crucial agreement (say, the Iran nuclear deal in July 2015), and a resort to amplify a technical arrangement. New York City remains the Mecca of global diplomacy.

Summary/Abstract |
Of New Zealand's fifteen prime ministers since 1945, David Lange has been written about the most in regards to his global diplomacy. He is the one who has written the most insightfully on his own prime ministerial time, particularly about his global diplomacy. Lange gave the Kirk brand--New Zealand as a progressive small state, with a deep internationalism central to our national identity--a new impetus. His standout achievement was in promoting New Zealand's enduring non-nuclear status. He also secured invaluable exposure for New Zealand beyond our traditional audiences in Canberra, London and Washington and repolished New Zealand's good international citizenship credentials

Summary/Abstract |
When Helen Clark became prime minister her longstanding engagement in world affairs generated high expectations that she would lift New Zealand's global reputation. Her prime ministership had just one iconic moment of global diplomacy - not joining the coalition that intervened militarily in Iraq in March 2003. Clark's prime ministership may not be the pinnacle of her global importance. Her nine years as prime minister became a finishing school for that future. Clark's post-prime ministerial career is better showing off her talents in a role suited to her strengths. She may not have yet peaked.

Summary/Abstract |
A major task of global diplomacy is settling local war-related international crises. However, the post-Cold War period has witnessed the emergence of some new trends. Instead of taking a neutral stance whenever and wherever possible, and pushing warring parties towards peace, leading Western powers are beginning to act differently. In most trouble spots, a 'right' party - the good guys - is chosen that enjoys the political, military, and diplomatic support it needs to achieve a victory over the bad guys. Proceeding from their current interests, more powerful countries often ignore the fact that, as a rule, there is no right or wrong party in domestic conflicts and civil wars; indeed, the responsibility often lies with both sides. Recently, there have been many examples of such a policy, so it might be interesting to look back at how it all began - in Yugoslavia in the early 1990s
