On behalf of the editors, I am delighted to announce the publication of our latest book, Diplomacy, Society and the Covid-19 Challenge, by Routledge. Over the last two years, which was quite a journey, we have worked with commitment, from the beginning to the end, and I am proud to say that this book is the outcome of many sleepless nights and days of hard work. Our journey was made possible by the encouragement and inspiration of countless individuals, their perseverance and determination, and their acts of kindness, friendship, and generosity. We are truly grateful to have had them accompany us on this journey. First and foremost, we want to thank Prof. Joseph S. Nye Jr. for his generous contribution to writing the foreword for this edited volume. We are also thankful to our authors, who devoted their precious time and patience throughout this two-year-long journey with us. Additionally, we are grateful to Routledge's professional and outstanding team, who provided us with invaluable support. Of course, our families deserve our utmost gratitude. We want to extend our most profound appreciation to our families for their unwavering patience, encouragement, and support while we worked on this edited volume. The last two years have been quite a journey indeed: "...Per Aspera Ad Astra". #Covid19 #Pandemic #Diplomacy #Society #Postpandemic routledge.com/Diplomacy-Soci…
