Key facts

We live in a global situation which is becoming ever more uncertain as the international community tackles problems as diverse as climate change discussions, migration, development aid, trade and the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Middle East. New actors have emerged on the international arena, but states remain the key actors within the international system.
This programme explores how governments and non-government organisations interact with each other, ranging from formal state visits to more covert interactions which take place. During this programme you will learn about the different types of diplomacy that exist, conflict resolution, transnational diplomacy with several case studies also being explored including crisis diplomacy and immigration.
