| 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. |
