http://www.diplomat The Rationale for the Diplomat's HandbookIn recent years, diplomacy as practiced by many democratic nations has taken on more of a human face. Whereas once the conduct of diplomatic relations was strictly on a state-to-state basis, today, Ambassadors and diplomats are much more likely to engage the publics of the host countries and not exclusively government officials. Embassies and Consulates are ready vehicles and brokers promoting contact and communications between the peoples and nongovernmental organizations.  China Case Study Just Released
The just released case study produced by the Handbook team, and written by Canadian diplomat Chantal Meagher, is entitled, "China's Fifth Modernization: the Enduring Hope for Democratic Governance." It details what diplomats from CD governments are doing to encourage the growth of civil society and the development of democracy in China, a one-party state. The authors note that diplomats are not trying to export a political system, but rather support those in China "who agree that human rights are universal and who wish political rights of assembly and expression to be respected in their country."
The full case study on China may be found here. CCD Announces Creation of the Palmer Prize for Diplomats
