DESCRIPTION

Diplomacy is usually surrounded by an aura that mixes glamour and exotic travel with impenetrable smoky backroom deals. The daily life and work of diplomats is usually considerably more mundane and down-to-earth. The practice of diplomacy requires a fair dose of technical training (law, political sciences, sociology, communication, economy, to name just a few) and values experience and seniority. The diplomatic field also represents one of the last frontiers for educated generalists called to deal daily with issues ranging from international relations, through export promotion, crisis management and consular protection to art projects and cultural diplomacy. This course is a guide to contemporary practical diplomacy. It aims to demystify the profession while exploring concrete examples of diplomacy's undiminished relevance in the 21st century through case studies and simulations.
