Introduction to Diplomacy(Hon)

Diplomacy is a centuries-old practice entailing the management of foreign relations between countries. Developments including transformations in communications technologies and digitization have significantly shaped the practice of modern diplomacy and created numerous obstacles and opportunities for diplomats. Many major world issues like climate change, geo-political conflicts, migration and diaspora and other challenges affect ethnic and transnational communities that are separated by national boundaries today. This course provides an introductory overview of diplomacy with an emphasis on current practices and future directions. It examines the many challenges and opportunities that diplomats and other foreign workers face when they represent their governments abroad. Students will gain a more thorough understanding of diplomacy and learn about its western origins, current practices, future directions, and practical applications.
