This is a dangerous time-the international system is teetering, jolted by a raging pandemic, climate change, income inequality, cyber threats, terrorism, authoritarian regimes, nationalist demagogues, and frightened and impatient publics. But the career and hard-earned wisdom of famed diplomat, Jan Eliasson, offers warnings, guidance, and hope. The Education of a Statesman examines Eliasson's remarkable diplomatic career-including Swedish diplomat, president of the United Nations General Assembly, and Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations-and scrutinizes the innumerable lessons he has learned which are applicable to our current period of "maximum danger" in global affairs. Combining elements of idealism and realism, Eliasson helps us understand the complexities of this perilous time in global affairs and suggests what can be done to renew the international order and calm the raging discontent that has infected international and domestic politics. Historian John Shaw analyzes a master diplomat and provides an insider's perspective on diplomacy and international politics: what happens during backroom meetings, high-profile international conferences, and charged debates at the United Nations. This book shows what must be done to confront this pivotal moment so "the bad guys stop winning" and the forces of rationality, fairness, and pluralism prevail-or at least have a fighting chance.
