INAF 303 - Diplomacy and Negotiation

This course explores the evolution of diplomacy as an institution and as an art. Students explore the origin, development, comparison of old and new diplomacy, its functions, types, value, its relationship to power, ideology and culture and the qualities and criticisms of diplomats. The definitions, prerequisites, and elements of negotiation process as well as the factors that impede negotiation also will be examined. This is a quasi-seminar course, beginning with lectures to lay the ground work and then becoming a seminar course that incorporates student presentations on topics of interest.

Prerequisite(s): INAF 200 recommended. Previously offered as POL 315 Topics.
