- Class Description:
- Teaches the theory and practice of diplomacy and how it is used by the US and others to advance foreign policy objectives.

- Class Format:
- The class meets twice a week in a combined traditional lecture and small group practical work format. The instructor will guide discussions about each topic, and will frequently bring in foreign policy practitioners via video conferencing to provide understanding of the real world work of a variety of foreign policy actors. There will also be a number of exercises, generally completed in small groups, designed to give students an opportunity to practice diplomatic skills including policy analysis, negotiation, oral and written presentation, and influencing.
