- Bilateral and Multilateral Diplomacy.
- Class Description:
- This three-credit course will examine the practice and process of diplomacy as it relates to the development and implementation of foreign and development cooperation policy in the United States government. We will review the history of inter-state relations and the international treaties and norms that have influenced policy and the practice of diplomacy, including the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The practice has evolved over the years though it continues to incorporate functions such as representation, reporting, negotiation, intercultural contacts, and interaction with the media (e.g. "public diplomacy").The "globalization" phenomenon, sometimes referred to as the "post-Westphalian world," has brought many new actors into the arena, including the private sector and civil society. We will examine the ways in which these forces, institutions, and individuals interact with the work of the modern diplomat. International organizations such as the United Nations require different rules and behaviors for diplomats and we will explore these arenas, including the "soft law" approaches employed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Specific and current policy cases will be explored to illustrate the complexity of diplomatic strategies and the tactics, techniques and methods used to implement them. In addition to providing a knowledge base, this course will focus on the development of professional skills important to the diplomatic profession. These include policy analysis and formulation, written and verbal communication and negotiation. Diplomacy is the art of influencing the behavior of individuals, nations, and international organizations that do not necessarily share the policy goals or national interests of the diplomat. It is an art that requires perceptive understanding of other cultures, political and economic systems, the use of soft and hard power, geo-strategic positioning, global threat analysis and consensus building. We will invite experienced diplomats to share case studies with the class. Active participation by the class will be expected.
