Diplomacy

Paper Summary:

The paper begins by reviewing and analyzing the book "Multi-Track Diplomacy: A Systems Approach to Peace", co-authored by Dr. Louise Diamond and Ambassador John McDonald. The paper then discusses why Quebec has experienced relatively little violence, while Northern Ireland has experienced a great deal of violence although the two conflicts have similar backgrounds. The paper shows how diplomacy is an activity of conflict resolution and not of the creation of a potential utopia.

From the Paper:

"The book Multi-Track Diplomacy: A Systems Approach to Peace, co-authored by Dr. Louise Diamond and Ambassador John McDonald, articulates an innovative new strategy for international diplomacy. Traditionally, diplomacy has been focused upon highly specific objectives within specific situations. Negotiating nuclear proliferation treaties is perhaps the most obvious example of this, where the former superpowers often engaged in long, protracted arguments about how many warheads and of what kind either the Soviet Union or the United States could produce or maintain over a period of time."
