  • The Role of Track Two Diplomacy in the Democratic Republic of Congo Conflict
    The Role of Track Two Diplomacy in the Democratic Republic of Congo Conflict Sagaren Naidoo1 Abstract Negotiating a cease-fire and a political solution, at the top political and mili- tary level, was an obvious first priority for peace-brokers in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) conflict. A flurry of first track and official diplo- matic efforts were pursued with the aim of convincing the Kabila government, rebel movements and regional states, to negotiate and implement a cease-fire agreement. Track two diplomacy played a minimal role in facilitating the signing of a cease-fire agreement. It, however, served as a reconciliatory effort at the civil society level. Track two diplomacy made a critical contribution to the official peace process by providing the unarmed actors with an opportu- nity to voice their position on the conflict. The de facto partitioning of the country during the war made contact between civil society organisations from the occupied zones difficult, if not impossible. Unofficial track two diplo- matic efforts conducted outside the DRC served to provide civil society groups with a platform of interaction and engagement. These exercises 85 Sagaren Naidoo The role of track two diplomacy in the DRC conflict allowed the unarmed forces to achieve greater co-ordination of their unarmed opposition with a platform to articulate a presence and negotiate an programmes and an opportunity to organise themselves into a stronger voice. inclusion into the peace process. This was achieved by providing an opportu- nity for the Congolese unarmed actors to present their position and thinking on the conflict.

  • Abe Shinzo: Diplomat-In-Chief Yuki Tatsumi 66 | Joint U.S.-Korea Academic Studies
    Abe Shinzo: Diplomat-in-Chief Yuki Tatsumi 66 | Joint U.S.-Korea Academic Studies Abe Shinzo is the longest-serving prime minister in post-World War II Japan. Having occupied the office since December 2012, Abe has attempted to leverage his stable tenure to increase Japan’s international presence. In particular, Abe has tried to reshape the way Japan conducts its foreign policy, from being responsive to proactive. “A proactive contribution to peace with international principle” or chikyushugi o fukansuru gaiko (diplomacy that takes a panoramic view of the world map) symbolizes his government’s approach, part of an earnest attempt to remain relevant on the international scene even as the country grapples with irreversible trends including population decline and aging. Abe’s February 2013 speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies during his first visit to Washington DC after returning to power demonstrates his determination to expand (or sustain at a minimum) Japan’s international presence. He spoke at length about his government’s insistence on keeping Japan a “first-rate country” and his desire to ensure that it will play a role as “the guardian of the commons,” contributing to international efforts to uphold rules and norms. Indeed, over 7 years since then, Abe has led his government to attempt to reshape his country’s foreign policy. At the end of his first year in office, Japan’s first-ever National Security Strategy was issued. Abe tried to anchor Japan’s foreign policy in two key factors – a robust alliance with the United States, and expansion of its partnerships with other U.S.
