Document Summary
Xxx = unfinished parts of the notes (perhaps unattainable at this point) Pol 2103 e - intro to international relations & global politics - joseph roman - 16 feb. Changes to diplomacy: multilateral diplomacy/conference diplomacy, diplomacy among more than 2 actors, technical knowledge, becoming more necessary, the role of non-state actors, they act as go-between states, intermediaries, to diplomacy, ngos becoming more important. Role of diplomacy & the management of conflict: to send signals, it"s overt & direct, there is always problems of misinterpretation however. Third golf war: saddam hussein thought the us would be ok with them taking over kuwait: circumspect strategies. Late 1990s, canadian potatoes were not allowed in the usa b/c they had a potato wart, so it looked ugly. When us officials came to canada and ate canadian potatoes, they were then questioned why there was a ban on them. The ban was subsequently lifted: bargaining & negotiation, 3rd-party mediation, power differentials really show their face.
