Iver Neumann writes new book detailing life inside a foreign ministry

DPIR alumnus Iver Neumann recently published At Home with the Diplomats, a book which draws on his own experience working at the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to examine how diplomacy is conducted on a day-to-day basis.

Ivers book approaches contemporary diplomacy from an anthropological perspective, and considers how both diplomats working abroad and those working at home engage in knowledge production. Offering unprecedented access to the inner workings of a foreign ministry, the book leaves the reader with a keen sense of the practices of diplomacy.

The book was published by Cornell University Press (2012), and is available for purchase from Amazon here.
