Course Description
Diplomacy is a core instrument of national power, but what is diplomacy exactly? This course will seek to answer this question while exploring the concrete activities of contemporary diplomats. We will start with a survey of diplomatic history, global and US, from the birth of the nation state to the creation of the Post WWII rules-based international order. We will then do three geographic and functional case studies of economic diplomacy in East Asia, political diplomacy in Latin America, and public diplomacy in Africa. We will conclude by considering the skills, functions and roles of today's diplomats. This course will serve as a primer for those wanting to understand the nature and practice of diplomacy and those contemplating a career in foreign affairs.
