The Cost to America and the World
The American Diplomacy journal has focused its mission on presenting the voices of practitioners: commentaries and stories from people who “have been there.” With this section of the journal, we aim to explore what is at stake in the current diplomacy crisis, focusing on the views of practitioners, but also including commentary from informed observers from academia and the media.
