First edition of this work on how the internet is transforming global politics and diplomacy. Octavo, original pictorial wrappers, bookplate to the front pastedown from “The Private Collection of Secretary Madeleine K. Albright.” The collector, Madeleine K. Albright, was the first woman to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. She acted under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001, leading the United States through foreign policy in the Middle East with the endorsement of military action in Iraq. At the 1998 NATO summit, Albright coined the “3 Ds” of NATO, “which is no diminution of NATO, no discrimination and no duplication – because I think that we don’t need any of those three “Ds” to happen.” After her tenure as Secretary of State, she served as chair of the consulting Albright Stonebridge Group and was the Michael and Virginia Mortara Endowed Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. For Albright’s contributions to foreign policy and relations that defined a century, President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. In near fine condition.
David Bollier is an American scholar, writer, and policy strategist known for his work on the commons, digital culture, and governance in the information age. The Rise of Netpolitik: How the Internet Is Changing International Politics and Diplomacy explores the growing influence of the internet on global politics and governance. The book argues that traditional state-centric diplomacy is being reshaped by digital networks, online activism, and decentralized information flows, leading to new forms of political engagement and power dynamics. Bollier examines how internet-based movements, from advocacy groups to cyber-diplomacy initiatives, challenge conventional hierarchies and create alternative avenues for global discourse.
