Four week course, starting 11 September 2017Diplomacy of Small States (Short Course e-learning)
Diplomacy is only one of a set of tools available to a country in the pursuit of its foreign policy. Diplomacy operates within a matrix of actions and of interests which collectively determine a country’s foreign policy objectives and affect the achievement of these objectives within the community of nations. Small state diplomacy is characterised by the relative importance that some of the standard factors and conditions which affect diplomacy everywhere, and especially physical, geographical and economic constraints and vulnerabilities, assume in both the definition, as well as the pursuit of policy goals.

This course examines the manner in which small states conduct their diplomacy to pursue their foreign policy objectives, and to manage their participation in the global community of nations. The subject takes two aspects as starting premises - that diplomacy as practiced by small states is a subset of the basic themes and methods of diplomacy in general; and that small states, however defined, are necessary and active partners in the global community of nations.Diplomacy is only one of a set of tools available to a country in the pursuit of its foreign policy.
