Sohn said in his foreword that the book "is an in-depth study of one of the most complex problems and could have been the last word on the subject were it not for the fact that the ingenuity of the human mind can produce new ideas, elements or formulas...The time to realize this idea is coming and we should all be grateful that the author has put in the enormous effort to gather this information for us in such a clear and well-organized way." In this book, Blanco Gaspar analyzes and studies numerous international conferences to expose how these events have become a fundamental tool in contemporary diplomacy. Blanco Gaspar argues for three reasons for the priority of these summit conferences organized by each international organization after the Second World War: the representation of each state in its president, the increase in the sectorial dimensions in the foreign relations of each country, and the advances technologies in transport and communication systems that facilitate meetings.
