Learning Policy Advice in International Affairs and Diplomacy: Innovations in International Affairs
Autor Giulio Vennerien Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2024
Readers will become acquainted with the principles of policy development and find practical guidance on how to design and implement policy advice. Crucial insights are offered on how to successfully nurture those aptitudes and approaches that are expected in demanding professional contexts from the very start of a career. Effective drafting techniques for written communication are presented, explaining methods and practices that facilitate the delivery of meaningful policy advice through written output. Regarding oral communication, the book demonstrates how aspiring policy advisers can build a positive narrative about their background, profile, and experience, in order to win over selection panels for jobs across the international community. The book explains how to tackle interview panels, and prove to recruiters the necessary competence, skills, vision, and motivation to perform efficiently and reliably in an international or EU policy role. By raising awareness of institutional communication practices and public outreach, the book will also give readers a sound understanding of perception management challenges in international politics and diplomacy. Building on twenty years’ experience as a policy insider in the international community, the author provides qualitative interviews with many other practitioners, including high-ranking officials, from different organisations and foreign services, as well as with scholars who have alternated academic engagement with appointments to key policy roles in diplomacy.
Containing example scenarios and practice exercises throughout, this pioneering book helps students, graduates and professionals aspiring to build a career in international affairs to acquire practical skills which are essential to recruiters in the diplomatic world, international institutions, NGOs, think tanks, as well as the private sector.

Recenzii
“The potential of Artificial Intelligence somehow gives the illusion that drafting skills might not be so relevant for future generations of colleagues. Preparation of texts and analyses will increasingly be outsourced to machines. While chatbots can deliver incredible support also in diplomacy, it is still crucial that operators are familiar with the right logics of policy writing and effective institutional communication to properly advise policymakers. Internalising the right mindset for policy advice is key also to mastering new innovations and truly benefitting from them. Venneri’s book is a little gem and truly a first of its kind, offering a clear learning method to grow into policy jobs in international affairs and diplomacy. It also provides a very practical contribution to bridge the gap between the academic and the policy realms. A must read for all young students aspiring to international careers and a reference text also for practitioners who are particularly keen to mentor new generations of colleagues and ease them into the job.”
Diego Brasioli, Ambassador for the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Professor of Diplomacy at LUMSA University in Rome and at the University of Luxembourg.
“In many years of public service as a manager, both in regional administration and in ministries at the state level, I have seen many young colleagues trying to safely land on a policy job without abandoning their academic baggage. A good manager must know how to guide junior officers in this important transition, ensuring that they can keep the best of both worlds. The first career steps are crucial. With comprehensive guidance and hands-on wisdom, Venneri’s handbook provides much-needed support to those who are starting to face the world of policy advice, as well as the managers who will mentor them. I will surely recommend this unvaluable and innovative work to the many interns and young colleagues that I have the privilege to mentor.”
Paolo Casalino, Director-General for Industrial Policy, Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy.
“Giulio Venneri's handbook provides the ideal accompaniment to work placements and training in policymaking, consultancy, and diplomacy. Providing insights on what to expect in the policy world and how to write a range of policy documents and briefings, also importantly how to prepare for structured job interviews. This book stands out from the pack as it is written by an experienced policy officer who also has ongoing undergraduate and postgraduate experience of the teaching and training requirements of academia. It offers an important preparation for students and others in policy work, providing a different approach from thinking and writing in an academic way.”
David Chandler, Professor of International Relations at the University of Westminster.
“Effective policy advice is the engine of engaging diplomacy. It is an art with intriguing logics and dynamics. Venneri’s book offers clear practical tips and useful techniques for the future generations of diplomats and advisers. A truly commendable publication, enriched with practical examples and meaningful guidance. These are drawn from successful professional experience, navigating between the policy realm and academia. A must read for students with the ambition to successfully land policy jobs in diplomacy and international affairs.”
Christian Danielsson, State Secretary for European Union Affairs of Sweden.
“As Venneri rightly puts it, policy advice is an art with its own logics, styles and dynamics. This book provides long overdue, yet innovative guidance on finding the path towards effectively mastering this art. But most importantly, Learning Policy Advice offers a format validly accessible to virtually all those across the humanities background, from social science academics to comparative lawyers. This is a must read for all who engage with or operate within the international policy world and in diplomacy, whether professionally or academically.”
Simona Granata-Meneghini, Director and Secretary of the European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission), Council of Europe.
“This work takes the bridging of policy and academia to a whole new level, focusing on a practical necessity. Frontloading policy advice training, with a clear awareness-raising also of the concrete challenges that policy jobs in international affairs and diplomacy involve, represents a smart and long overdue move. The proposed approach must be commended, since it can be a game changer in training many future practitioners to come, easing their smooth induction on the job, but not only. This handbook dispenses practical wisdom, which without any doubt will be valuable to junior policy advisers and young scholars alike. Regardless of which profession students pursue, Learning Policy Advice is a must for every international affairs syllabus.”
Stefano Manservisi, Professor at the School of Transnational Governance of the European University Institute and at School for International Affairs of Sciences-Po/Paris, fmr Director-General for International Partnerships and for Home Affairs and Migration at the European Commission.
“Academia and the diplomatic world have different dynamics, pace of work and logics. Creating links across the two realms is an onerous ambition that benefits all. Building on crosscutting experience both as a policy adviser and a scholar, Venneri starts from a simple but meaningful assumption: frontloading policy skills training can ease the bridging exercise. Young practitioners will have a smoother induction and be inclined to better retain their academic knowledge. Young scholars will also be more effective in approaching and engaging the policy world for research. Taking the reader through the insider’s hard-won perspective, the author offers concrete guidance for entry-level policy officers and academics alike. This publication is exactly what is missing in the syllabi for courses on diplomacy and international affairs.”
Joseph Marko, Professor Emeritus of comparative public law and political sciences at the Institute of Public Law and Political Sciences and at the Faculty of Law of the University of Graz, fmr International Judge at the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“This is the handbook that I wish I had had in my pocket at the beginning of my career in diplomacy. An extremely pleasant read, with interesting anecdotes and an intriguing narrative. It offers sharp and meaningful strategic guidance to develop the right mindset for diplomatic jobs, and several practical tips on how to be impactful and make the difference on any international policy job assignment, from the very outset of the career. Having spent many years in the policy world while making time for engagement in academia, just like the author, I see this volume as an important and innovative contribution in bridging the two realms. This publication also represents a clear exhortation for practitioners to mentor young diplomats more effectively, while offering a readymade reference manual for such an endeavour. Genuinely, a unique publication that students will find useful to develop crucial skills. A text that hopefully will trigger more exchanges and better interactions between researchers and international policy practitioners.”
Pierre Mirel, Honorary Director-General at the European Commission. Adviser at the Jaques Delors Institute. Lecturer at the Public School of International Affairs at Sciences Po Paris.
“Learning Policy Advice is an invaluable guide for aspiring diplomats and junior policy professionals. With a riveting narrative from start to finish, this work brilliantly demystifies the complexities of policy advice, offering practical insights that are crucial for excelling in this field. The attention Venneri places on self-awareness and discovery highlights the professional and intellectual maturity of the author. The book is a must-read for students and young professionals alike, providing them with the foundational axioms necessary to navigate effectively the intricate world of policymaking and diplomacy.”
Giulio Terzi, Member of the Italian Senate and Chair of EU Policy Committee, fmr Minister of Foreign Affairs, fmr Permanent Representative to the UN, and fmr Ambassador of Italy to the USA.
“Learning Policy Advice in International Affairs and Diplomacy is a remarkably innovative and yet immensely practical guide bridging the gap between academic knowledge and policy skills. Putting communication at the centre, Venneri provides a much-needed introduction into the policy adviser’s mindset, revealing practical methods to elaborate precise policy advice documents in the realm of international political affairs and diplomacy. With its roots in the EU bubble and tested in years of teaching, this useful volume is essential reading for all those who need or want to improve their analytical and communication skills in dealing with policy dossiers and policymakers. A must read for students seeking policy jobs across the international community, and equally for young practitioners from the very start of their career.”
Jens Woelk, Professor in Comparative Constitutional Law, School of International Studies and Faculty of Law, University of Trento.
“Keeping a foot in both worlds of diplomacy and academia for more than two decades, I simply identify with this book. It is significant because it is accessible—exactly as this author describes the first lesson in policy advice—and based on a solid understanding of the discipline, indeed bridging the gap between IR theory and practice. This is not something that should be taken for granted. The book is timely because generations Z and Alpha need to understand that using search engines online, or even advanced AI systems, cannot substitute human skills and serious learning of the subject matter. It is highly recommended reading not only for those seeking a career in policy advice but also for academics, who also need to continue bridging the gap from their side.”
