From the Paper:

"Diplomacy is a strategy used by many nations including the United States in resolving issues without resorting to war. The issues can be military issues, economic issues, social or cultural issues. They have a potentially negative impact on their relationships between the two nations or they have the ability to create tension that could ultimately lead to war. The diplomats that are chosen to represent each nation are chosen for their lifetime achievements and their well known ability to mediate and help resolve situations that can become volatile."
