This edited book explores the multi-layered relationships between public diplomacy and intensified uncertainties stemming from transnational political trends. It is the latest wave of political uncertainty that provides the background as well as yields evidence scrutinised by authors contributing to this book. The book argues that due to a state of perpetual crises, the simultaneity of diplomatic tensions and new digital modalities of power, international politics increasingly resembles a networked set of hyper-realities. Embracing multi-polar competition, superpowers such as Russia flex their muscles over their neighbours; celebrated ‘success stories’ of democratisation – Hungary, Poland and Czechia – move towards illiberal governance; old players of international politics such as Britain and America re-claim “greatness”, while other states, like China, adapt expansionist foreign policy goals. The contributors to this book consider the different ways in which transnational political trends and digitalisation breed uncertainty and shape the practice of public diplomacy.

ISBN: 1000390136

This book provides a cross-country study of the consequences of the expansion of intra-party democracy, the trend towards more inclusive methods of selection for party candidates and leaders, and the impact of these on political elites in terms of sociopolitical profile and patterns of careers. It explores the link between political organizations and political elites, by studying the role of parties in parliamentary and political selection and its impact on the political leadership appointed. Putting an emphasis on primary elections, it analyses the party elites that emerge from those selection processes and those democratized organizational settings. It focuses not only on the analysis of the processes through which party elites are selected and the consequences at the level of the party but also at the level of party elites themselves, i.e. what impact party primaries have on the characteristics parties’ candidates and leaders. The book offers a theoretical, comparative, and empirical account of the internal electoral processes of parties and their impact on political recruitment. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of political elites, political parties and party systems, electoral politics, democracy, populism, and leadership, and more broadly to comparative politics.

A person in a leadership position frequently navigates through challenging environments and crisis situations. COVID-19’s fast global expansion has quickly surpassed the scale and breadth of other recent epidemics, and people are naturally inclined to look to leaders for direction while seeking authority and certainty. The importance of competent, calm, and trustworthy leadership is greater than ever during unpredictable and turbulent times as leadership effectiveness can be best judged in crisis environments. Global Leadership Perspectives on Industry, Society, and Government in an Era of Uncertainty examines how leaders from industry, society, and government respond to and manage crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic in a variety of cultural and national contexts. This book is poised to address contemporary leadership issues as well as the fundamental issues such as its definition, evolution of leadership theories, its distinction from management, and implications for gender, culture, and different fields of knowledge. Covering topics such as employee retention, leadership skills, and women entrepreneurs, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for leaders, managers, executives, investors, economic analysts, policymakers, human resource managers, entrepreneurs, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.
