Revue de presse

Juergen Kleiner's 'Diplomatic Practice' has all the ingredients to become the reference book for a generation. Only a lifelong practitioner of diplomacy turned university professor could produce such a vivid, authoritative and well articulated portrait of his profession ... Kleiner's definitions are crystal clear, his judgement is always balanced, his language is that of a trained lawyer. The book thereby also covers a large segment of current international law ... In fact, it is three things in one: It is at the same time a tool-box for practitioners, a handbook for scholars and a textbook for students and applicants. A tremendous amount of work has gone into it. --Dr Ernst-Ulrich Junker, Minister (ret.) Previous Head of the Economic and Scientific Section of the German Embassy in Tokyo

Kleiner's book bears all the marks of his rich experience as a practitioner and scholar of diplomacy ... Overall, Kleiner impressively achieves his goal of writing an essential guide-book on the practice of diplomacy. His prose is also lucid and engaging, like a well-crafted diplomatic memorandum. This is a welcome addition to the scholarship on the study of diplomacy, and will be regarded as an indispensable reference on diplomatic practice at the beginning of the twenty-first century. --Seung-young Kim, The Hague Journal of Diplomacy
