This book explains and evaluates preventative diplomacy in a precarious age, highlighting its connection to human security and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which advocate for development rooted in peace, justice, and respect for human rights. It examines diplomatic efforts aimed at managing relations among great powers, addressing intra- and inter-state conflicts, terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, and human rights, while preventing escalation. The discussion includes evolving tensions between the United States and China, as well as the U.S. and Russia, recalling historical examples of preventive diplomacy and proposing future strategies. The book illustrates that contemporary preventive diplomacy is pursued not only by international and regional officials but also by NGOs and individuals, stressing the importance of a comprehensive approach to achieving SDG16 and enhancing human security. It offers practical recommendations to improve preventive diplomacy and provides valuable insights into the global threats we face. This work will appeal to scholars, students of diplomacy and security studies, global governance experts, and practitioners in government and international organizations.
