This work seeks to provide insight into the role that discourse and rhetorical analysis plays in the crucial area of international conflict resolution and diplomatic process. Using analyses of situations that have come into play in the United Nations as the backdrop to their study, Donahue and Prosser first develop the concept of discourse analysis and the various approaches to it, including the role of genre and culture. They then turn their attention to rhetorical analysis, from its classical beginnings through to contemporary Western perspectives. The final part of the work applies the tools of discourse and rhetorical analysis to an understanding of various modern historical conflicts (including the Middle East conflict) and issues of current and future interest (such as human and women's rights).
RAY T. DONAHUE is Professor of Intercultural Communication at Nagoya Gakuin University in Japan./e He is the author of Japanese Culture and Communication: Critical and Cultural Analysis and co-author of Diplomatic Discourse: International Conflict at the United Nations (Ablex, 1997).
