Modern Conflict and Diplomacy is an introductory anthology in Greenhaven’s Global Viewpoints series.  It collects contemporary essays, primary documents, and media pieces from multiple countries on war, peace, and diplomatic practice, giving students contrasting national and ideological perspectives on current conflicts.
 
The Global Viewpoints series frames global issues (e.g., human trafficking, rise of authoritarianism, national identity) through juxtaposed essays highlighting non‑U.S. as well as U.S. perspectives.  Volumes follow a consistent structure, detailed contents, primary‑source excerpts, and short contextual introductions, to allow comparative reading across topics.
