Summary: | "Career Diplomacy is an insider's guide to the Foreign Service as an institution, a profession, and a career. In this thoroughly revised fourth edition, Kopp and Naland provide an up-to-date, authoritative, and candid account of the life and work of professional US diplomats, who advance and protect the country's interests around the globe. The authors explore the five career tracks-consular, political, economic, management, and public diplomacy-through their own experience and through interviews with more than a hundred current and former members of the Foreign Service. They lay out what to expect in a Foreign Service career, from the entrance exam through midcareer and into the senior service-how to get in, get around, and get ahead. This new edition will include updates throughout the text including about diversity and inclusion and family and work-life balance issues for Foreign Service officers"-- |
