Career Diplomacy - now in its second model - can be an insider's guide that examines the overseas service as an organization, an occupation, and a job. Harry W. Kopp and Charles A. Gillespie, both of whom possessed long and recognized opportunities in the overseas service, provide a full and well-rounded picture of the business, its place in history, its strengths and weaknesses, and its own role in American overseas affairs. Based on their own activities and through interviews with over 100 current and past foreign service officials and specialists, the writers lay out what to expect in a overseas service profession, from the access exam through midcareer and into the mature service - how the service works in writing, and used. The second model addresses major changes that have occurred since 2007: the questionable effort to make an expeditionary overseas service to lead the work of stabilization and reconstruction in delicate states; deepening cooperation with the U.S. armed service and the changing role of the service in Iraq and Afghanistan; the ongoing surge in overseas service recruitment and employing at the Section of Point out and U.S. Organization for International Development; and the growing integration of USAID's budget and objective with those of the Section of State.
