In this context, knowing of the basic role and validity of the diplomacy will make an important contribution to the analysis of relations between the state-state and the state-state actors in international politics. Especially today, the existence and the role of the diplomacy is equally valued, as the concepts of global governance and interdependence are accepted among the actors in the international politics. From this point of view, diplomacy, which can be influenced from actors in global politics to regional powers, from non-state actors to public bodies, is a mechanism that enables states, societies and individuals to live in peace. If we take into account that diplomacy is the most fundamental means of foreign policy that shows that international relations can be the history of peace, not just war, we can say that the need for diplomacy is growing steadilyin today. Our book consists of eight chapters. Our authors in this book that of the International Relations (English) Undergraduate Program at Anadolu University have dealt with the concept of diplomacy in a wide range of historical developments, from the first diplomatic methods applied in history to today’s diplomatic practices. In this framework, the first chapter of the book emphasizes the definition and the significance of the concept of diplomacy. The first chapter also covered the theoretical framework of international diplomacy, the different types of diplomacy and the diplomatic relations and diplomatic practices between actors in today’s international relations. Within this historical development, different types of diplomacy have been included in this chapter. The second chapter also focuses on the historical development of the diplomacy. In this context, the practices of diplomacy in antiquity and medieval period are discussed in detail. Being aware of the emergence of first diplomatic practices and conveying the development of different diplomatic practices in different civilizations for centuries has been the main objective of this chapter. The first diplomatic practices from ancient Mesopotamian civilizations to ancient China, from ancient India to ancient Greece, were handled in detail in this chapter. The second chapter also examined medieval diplomacy. Within this context, diplomatic practices in the Islamic world and the Byzantine Empire have been examined. The third chapter of the book deals with the process of transition to permanent diplomatic practices. In this context, it follows the roots of modern diplomacy from the ancient times up to the Renaissance. The emergence of certain diplomatic practices, such as the embassies of the Italian city states, has been examined in the unit. The main aspects of diplomatic practices between the 1648 Westphalian Peace Treaty and the Vienna Congress were examined. The chapte also includes modern diplomatic practices, deals with the emergence of modern diplomatic missions and foreign ministries. This chapter also made the classification of different aspects of contemporary diplomacy in the late 20th and 21st centuries. The fourth chapter is about the Ottoman diplomatic and diplomatic correspondence. In this context, the chapter was first described in terms of both temporary and

For these countries, as the expected need for military force relinquished, its actual use increased. Left with a need for improved tools for handling the increasing number of international security issues, the strategy of coercive diplomacy has never been of more current interest. This thesis seeks to address a lacuna in contemporary theorizing about coercive diplomacy, namely the under-theorization of the adversary. Through within-case and cross-case analysis of the NATO interventions in Bosnia- Herzegovina and Kosovo, I attempt to show how both scientists and political decision-makers can benefit from a more in-depth analysis of the coerced. The thesis takes the theoretical framework developed by Bruce Jentleson and Christopher Whytock as a starting point. As a significant step in the right direction, their model of coercive diplomacy better accounts for the motivations, interests, and expected reactions of the target state.

  • Gunboat Diplomacy of the Great Powers on the Ottoman Empire
    Journal of International Eastern European Studies/Uluslararası Doğu Avrupa Araştırmaları Dergisi, Vol./Yıl. 2, No/Sayı. 2, Winter/Kış 2020) ISSN: 2687-3346 Araştırma Makalesi Gunboat Diplomacy of the Great Powers on the Ottoman Empire: With Particular Reference to the Salonika Incident (1876) and Armenian Reform Demands (1879-80) Fikrettin Yavuz* (ORCID ID: 0000-0002-3161-457X) Makale Gönderim Tarihi Makale Kabul Tarihi 01.12.2020 08.12.2020 Abstract Throughout history, gunboat, a small vessel of a naval force, has been turned into a term of coercive diplomacy. Gunboat diplomacy, associated with chiefly the activities of the Great Powers, means the use of naval power directly or indirectly as an aggressive diplomatic instrument. It seems highly probable to see many examples of this coercive diplomacy in the world history, particularly after the French Revolution. Naturally, the Ottoman Empire, always attracted attention of the Great Powers, was exposed to this policy of the Powers. During the nineteen century, the rivalry among the European Powers on the Ottoman territorial integrity became a common characteristic that led them to implement gunboat diplomacy on all occasions. In this context, this article firstly offers a critical analysis of gunboat diplomacy of the Great Powers on the Ottoman Empire within the dimension of two specific examples: The Salonika Incident and Armenian reform demands. In addition, it aims to contribute to the understanding of gunboat diplomacy of the Great Powers and Ottoman response by evaluating it from native and foreign literatures. Keywords: European Powers, Ottomans, Gunboat Diplomacy, Salonika, Armenian, Reform * Assoc.

  • Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution
    Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution Introduction In his poem, The Second Coming (1919), William Butler Yeats captured the moment we are now experiencing: Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. As we see the deterioration of the institutions created and fostered after the Second World War to create a climate in which peace and prosperity could flourish in Europe and beyond, it is important to understand the role played by diplomacy in securing the stability and strengthening the shared values of freedom and democracy that have marked this era for the nations of the world. It is most instructive to read the Inaugural Address of President John F. Kennedy, in which he encouraged Americans not only to do good things for their own country, but to do good things in the world. The creation of the Peace Corps is an example of the kind of spirit that put young American volunteers into some of the poorest nations in an effort to improve the standard of living for people around the globe. We knew we were leaders; we knew that we had many political and economic and social advantages. There was an impetus to share this wealth. Generosity, not greed, was the motivation of that generation. Of course, this did not begin with Kennedy. It was preceded by the Marshall Plan, one of the only times in history that the conqueror decided to rebuild the country of the vanquished foe.

Thanks must first be given to those individuals from the US Departments of Defense and State, the US Agency for International Development, the United Nations, NATO, the NGO community, and a host of other official and semi-official organizations whose largely anonymous but important work compiled the many word lists, glossaries, and publications that form the basis of this lexicon. The list of sources offers but a sampling of their efforts. Within the Center for Complex Operations (CCO), a host of research associates and student interns conducted literature reviews and research, sought out new sources, contacted government agencies, proofread drafts, and cross-checked definitions and references over the course of many months. Notable among these individuals was Scott Miller, whose research acumen resulted in an initial draft that formed the core of the lexicon. Jenny Mitchell and Aileen McLaren spent long hours doing the necessary final editing as well as ensuring each term was appropriately and accurately cited. For those whose names may not be listed, rest assured your contributions did not go unnoticed and are much appreciated. James Madison University’s Center for International Stabilization and Recovery (CISR) fleshed an original draft into a robust reference of value across the community of conflict practitioners, military and civilian, by drawing in the language of a diverse set of communities who operate in conflict zones.

  • Trump's Twiplomacy
    Trump’s Twiplomacy: A New Diplomatic Norm? Kajsa Hughes Two-year Political Science MA programme in Global Politics and Societal Change Dept. of Global Political Studies Course: Political Science Master’s thesis ST631L (30 credits) Thesis submitted: Summer, 2020 Supervisor: Corina Filipescu Kajsa Hughes 19940526-2867 Political Science: Global Politics Abstract This study examined how Trump frames various countries and their leaders and whether the framing changes from different factors. It also observed whether foreign leaders were following the same path as Trump in their diplomatic communication and interaction on Twitter. This was to contribute more knowledge that connects global politics with social media to see if changes of frames through Twitter caused any global politica l consequences. Theories including realist constructivism and framing theory, along with concepts of social norms, political context, events, and enemy images, were applied to the study. Using directed content analysis, together with longitudinal and comparative elements, the findings showed a separation between Trump’s and the other leaders’ tweets. Almost all tweets were connected to the concepts, and various techniques of framing were identified in tweets from most leaders. However, Trump’s informa l, disdain, and dramatics in his tweets have distanced himself from the rest of the leaders’ posts. Although a couple of leaders’ attempt to be hostile towards Trump and the U.S. in their tweets, they were still formal. It shows that not only is Trump’s Twiplomacy a reflection of American superpower forcefulne ss, but also a unique form that the rest choose to ignore.

KELAPILE Student Country: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Course Code or Name: DIP‐401 Professor / Assigned Tutor: ROBERTO RODRIGUEZ Note: This paper uses US English (with punctuation and rule of style). NEGOTIATION: THE MOST IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF DIPLOMACY 1) INTRODUCTION Geoff R. Berridge observes that negotiation is one of the functions of diplomacy and correctly identifies the other diplomatic duties, including gathering of information, clarifying intentions and promotion of goodwill. He nonetheless asserts that negotiation is “the most important function of diplomacy”1 if the latter is conceived in a broader sense. Jean‐Robert Leguey‐Feilleux, on the other hand, sees 1 G.R. Berridge, Diplomacy: Theory and Practice, 3rd ed. New York: Palgrave, 2005, pp. 27, 214 -215. Collen V. Kelapile DIP‐401 2 negotiation as one among several functions of diplomacy. He said: “Diplomacy serves a large variety of functions, and negotiation, albeit important, is only one of them.”2 A premise in this argument is that, in today’s international relations, negotiation takes place more often than the other functions. While the trend has declined in bilateral relations, it is much dominant in multilateral diplomacy. Though at times ceremonial and symbolic, summit level interactions are equally frequent. Mediation is also undertaken as “a special kind of negotiation designed to promote the settlement of a conflict.”3 My diplomatic experience informs me that the importance of negotiation is not exaggerated. As discussed below, evidence suggests that disputes and conflicts permeate every sphere of our existence. Diplomacy is of constant resort and negotiation is pervasively utilized.

Consequently, the focus of this study was narrowed to providing only a descriptive analysis of the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s peace processes of 1998-2002. Subsequently, the surrounding climate served to aggravate the DRC’s ethnic cleavages and the conflict grew so complex that the issues could no longer be clearly divided. The motivation for conducting a study of this nature was that amidst the twenty-three failed attempts for peace, the conflict persisted with no signs of abating, which suggests that a historical and discourse analysis of the peace processes is justified.

From the coercion delivered by the gunboats of the Pax Britannica to the modern-day ex- ercise of soft power through hardware, interpretations of what constitutes naval diplomacy are wide-ranging. Strategists have undoubtedly long been aware of its existence, but over the centuries few have been moved to study or document it in any substantial way.
