The Hidden Power of Informal Diplomacy: When the State is No Longer Enough provides a thorough and systematic analysis of the mechanisms, actors, and stakes of informal diplomacy in contemporary international relations. Based on rigorous methodology and a variety of case studies, the book examines how non-state actors—diasporas, NGOs, religious networks, young leaders, and local authorities—contribute to global governance beyond traditional state frameworks. It explores the legal, ethical, and political implications of these dynamics and critically reflects on their complementarity with formal diplomacy. This work offers an innovative contribution to political science and international relations, highlighting the transformation of governance models in a multipolar and interconnected world.
