<br/><br/> This volume looks at the role of the ambassador in contemporary international relations and argues that it has been redefined, perhaps for the better. Is he/she the political representative of his/her country in the capital of another, or a high-profile businessperson trying to market his/her country. Written in an engaging, informative style with anecdotes from diplomatic lore, It also examines how this redefinition has occurred and what has happened to the traditional roles the ambassador had to fulfill
