Аннотация

This course explores modern diplomacy as a system of social relations that are somehow distinctive and can be recognised as having the character of diplomatic relations. Global diplomacy is defined by the types of state and non-state actors on behalf of which it is undertaken, and by the status of those actors vis-à-vis one another, e.g. sovereign and equal. Starting from mainstream studies of diplomacy, each section of the course represents new concepts of diplomacy such as public, cultural, digital, science, sports diplomacy, and further looks at a small number of abstract theoretical arguments or discussions and specific episodes of global diplomacy.

Students delve into negotiation as one of the functions of diplomacy designed to achieve the formal agreement between governments to a way forward on an issue that has come up in their relations.
Students will be able to explain situations in which diplomatic relations are in abeyance but the parties maintain an interest in communicating with each other through contacts in the diplomatic corps of third states or meetings in the wings of international organisations of which they are both members.
Students will be able to explain the centrality of communication to the diplomatic practice and the toolbox available for studying diplomacy.
Students will be able to explain the historical evolution of diplomacy to the present day, the key transformative moments of the diplomatic practice, as well as the main contributions and limitations of diplomacy in facilitating international peace and cooperation.
Students will be able to understand key features of contemporary global diplomacy, its multiplication of issue areas and actors, and to identify traditional and non-traditional diplomatic actors.
