Review Quotes:
This collection of reading explores the practice as well as the aspirations of knowledge diplomacy. In a world where globalisation has been accompanied by increasingly fractured and anxious international relationships at governmental levels the authors discuss with positive optimism and heartwarming confidence the wide range of contributions being made by universities and academics through their scholarship, research, innovation and exchange activities to the strengthening of international links and building relationships across borders. Through knowledge diplomacy we can achieve so much, and the authors infect the readers with their confidence and commitment. This book has truly inspired me!

The rich debate in these pages over the concept of knowledge diplomacy and the keen insights into application will support the work of researchers working to further the academic field.
