Georgetown University Press (gupress) | 27 comments Good afternoon! I’m an employee at Georgetown University Press
I was wondering if you would be able to help us combine the following two entries:

1. Diplomacy and the Future of World Order
2. Diplomacy and the Future of World Order

If possible, we would also like to make the following changes to the copy:

1. Chester A. Crocker, Fen Osler Hampson, and Pamela Aall should be marked as editors, not contributors (although they are both!).
2. It would be great to include "Foreword by Ambassador William J. Burns" if there's a way to do so.
3. Would we be able to add in the following contributors somehow? (The editors are also contributors, and I've included them in the list below.)

Pamela Aall, Kanti Bajpai, Daniel Benjamin, Hans Binnendijk, Samantha Bradshaw, William J. Burns, Chester A. Crocker, Toby Dalton, Solomon Ayele Dersso, Chas Freeman, Jean-Marie Guéhenno, Shadi Hamid, Fen Osler Hampson, Stacie Hoffmann, Lise Morjé Howard, Ana Palacio, See Seng Tan, Emily Taylor, Marcos Tourinho, and Dmitri Trenin

4. It looks like the descriptive copy includes quotation marks, and the divisions between paragraphs have been eliminated. Could we please change the copy to the following so it will match the rest of our web copy?

Three scenarios for future approaches to peace and conflict diplomacy, explored through the lens of regional perspectives and security threats

Diplomacy in pursuit of peace and security faces severe challenges not seen in decades. The reemergence of strong states, discord in the UN Security Council, destabilizing transnational nonstate actors, closing space for civil society within states, and the weakening of the international liberal order all present new obstacles to diplomacy.

In Diplomacy and the Future of World Order, an international group of experts confronts these challenges to peace and conflict diplomacy—defined as the effort to manage others’ conflicts, cope with great power competition, and deal with threats to the state system itself. In doing so, they consider three potential scenarios for world order where key states decide to go it alone, return to a liberal order, or collaborate on a case-by-case basis to address common threats and problems.

These three scenarios are then evaluated through the prism of regional perspectives from around the world and for their potential ramifications for major security threats including peacekeeping, nuclear nonproliferation, cyber competition, and terrorism. Editors Chester A. Crocker, Fen Osler Hampson, and Pamela Aall conclude the volume by identifying emerging types of diplomacy that may form the foundation for global peacemaking and conflict management in an uncertain future.
