Document Summary
Diplomacy and new players: traditional diplomacy-the practice of nation-state negotiation or negociation continuelle- are conducted by state actors on behalf of governments so that hey might achieve their national interests, g. r. Berridge informs us that, diplomacy is an essentially political activity and, well resources, and skillful, and major ingredient of power. Resolution: according to ramsbotham, woodhouse, and miall, conflict -the pursuit of incompatible goals by different group. This implies that behavior is no longer violent, attitudes are no longer hostile, and the structure of the conflict has been changed. The aim of conflict resolution is to transform actually or potentially violent conflict into peaceful processes of social and political change. This is an unending task as new forms and sources of conflict arise: facts, a conflict is more than just a disagreement. It is a situation in which one or both parties perceive a threat. Whether it is real or not: conflicts continue to fester when ignored.
