Sumar's powerful vision of development diplomacy is a must-read for anyone interested in an international career. When foreign policy and international development experts come together, the possibilities to fight poverty are endless. The Development Diplomat creates a roadmap for current practitioners and the next generation of development diplomats to take on their journey toward changing the world.
