"In his timely book, Alisher Faizullaev contributes to the ongoing and extensive discussion surrounding the increasing influence of non-state actors in international relations. [...] [Diplomacy for Professionals and Everyone] holds value and is worth reading for people engaging in different forms of diplomatic interactions, including professional diplomats. (...) Recognizing the concept of diplomacy as being “transprofessional”, which implies that various forms of diplomacy increasingly involve non-professional diplomats (...), the author wrote partly a manual for “new diplomats”, partly a textbook for students and partly a manifesto that outlines his vision of an “ideal diplomacy” and the characteristics of “ideal diplomats”. While this amalgamation of approaches may create confusion among readers, it is precisely this amalgamation that adds a unique dimension to the book. By combining these perspectives, Faizullaev strives to offer a comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape of diplomacy, stimulating critical thinking about the future of the diplomatic profession." — Tomasz Kamiński, University of Lodz, in: Springer Link, March 2024
"The book Diplomacy for Professionals and Everyone argues 'that both traditional and new sociopolitical actors, including states, organizations, companies, groups, and individuals, can use diplomacy to manage existing relationships, resolve problems, and protect interests.' […] With these perspectives in mind, the book fosters a more complex understanding of diplomacy. […] The book also offers theoretical arguments to think of diplomacy as a social practice and develop the notion of Social Diplomacy. […] It calls on us to reconsider diplomacy as a co-working space where collaborative thinking is fostered and highlights the necessity of including ordinary citizens in global diplomatic processes." — Antonio Alejo, in: Journal of Public Diplomacy, Vol. 3, No. 2, pp. 83-85
