Historians have long argued about the nature of the changes that occurred in American foreign policy at the turn of the century, and whether those changes represented an abrupt break from the past or the culmination of long-term trends. Beisner addresses these issues by recasting the questions involved, and synthesizes the most useful contributions of both traditional and revisionist historians. From the Old Diplomacy to the New reinterprets the entire period as one in which American foreign policy underwent a fundamental paradigm shift that affected the goals and methods of diplomacy. A commitment to systematic policy and a determination to promote American interests in a dangerous world characterized the "new diplomacy."

"Robert Beisner has provided a good updating of an already solid work, and From the Old Diplomacy to the New can be recommended for a nineteenth-century diplomatic history course." (Teaching History, 1986)Praise for the first edition:"... an important new interpretation of foreign relations in the Gilded Age and an impressive challenge for future analysis." (Pacific Historical Review, February 1976)
