The Art Of Diplomacy (IA223)

IA – International Affairs

Lewes (Trinity Faith Education Building) | February 3, 2025-March 3, 2025

Monday: 12:45 PM-2:00 PM

This is a hybrid course. One section meets on site at the location listed; and one section meets online only.

Why is it so difficult for nations to reach agreement on critical problems the world faces? This course uses three specific negotiations in which the instructor was personally involved to illustrate the challenges diplomats face, as well as lessons that can be drawn from successful and unsuccessful strategies and tactics. Students completing the course are equipped to evaluate developments in international negotiations that will likely shape the evolution of a new global order.

Check to see if this course has posted a class outline or syllabus (LINK COMING SOON).

This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
