In partnership with the American Foreign Service Association, CMS was honored to host the Washington, D.C. launch of Marine Corps University Press‘s “Boots and Suits: Historical Cases and Contemporary Lessons in Military Diplomacy,” edited by Philip Kosnett (U.S. Ambassador, Ret.).
Boots and Suits discusses aspects of military diplomacy, featuring an edited collection of chapters by ambassadors, scholars, and servicemembers. The diverse set of authors explains military diplomacy through the lens of both the military and the diplomatic corps of countries, including perspectives from the United States, the Netherlands, and Turkey, among others. This volume examines the aspects of military diplomacy as used by nations and what differentiates this concept from both military confrontation and diplomatic overtures when used as discrete concepts by nation-states rather than employing military diplomacy to advance their strategic goals.
