Abstract
This paper examines how the main focus of niche diplomacy, as its name implies, is that of selecting specific "niches", which a nation's foreign policy will follow. It gives an overview of niche diplomacy; its definition, importance and examples of this diplomacy from history around the world. It uses the Canadian diplomacy as a case study and reviews argumentative essays around this topic, mainly the collection of argumentative essays titled "International Relations In The Post Cold War Era" by Evan H. Potter.
From the Paper
"Smith then points out three limitations of niche diplomacy. These limitations are: Firstly, the vagueness of niche criteria combined with the lack of a clear method of niche inception, as well as there being no clear definition of when a niche ceases to exist; secondly, that there is an elitist element at the hart of niche diplomacy; and thirdly, that the policy of niche diplomacy with its over-focus on economics legitimizes what Smith defines as, "balance sheet diplomacy" (Smith 172). Smith then suggests that these limitations contribute significantly to the widening of the commitment-credibility gap, which niche diplomacy is supposed to narrow."

Foreign Policy, Media Diplomacy and Propaganda, 2006.
This paper examines the role of media diplomacy, public diplomacy and propaganda in the reporting of the meeting between the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel on April 15, 2004.

Abstract
The paper looks at several different reports of this event and analyzes how the use of media and public diplomacy, along with propaganda, shape the way in which news is actually reported. The paper discusses how the United States focused on the commitment to fighting terrorism as its outcome of the meeting, the Middle-East focused on the United States' public support of the continued oppression of the Palestinians while the United Kingdom saw it as another act of arrogance by the Bush administration and used it as an attack on its own Prime Minister. The paper shows how vastly different the reports of one event can be and what one event can mean to so many different people.
From the Paper
"Public and media diplomacy are closely related and often confused with each other. Public diplomacy is defined as a one-sided, usually half truthful communication designed to persuade public opinion where media diplomacy is essentially the same but uses a television medium to get the point across either locally or internationally. Many media and press outlets utilized this particular event to get their one-sided point across to the only audience that mattered, the one that was listening."

Conflict Resolution and Diplomacy, 2007.
A discussion of the benefits of using diplomacy over military action to resolve international conflicts.
1,244 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 42.95
»

Abstract
This paper explores the pros and cons of war versus diplomacy. The author argues that skilled diplomacy could have avoided the US entry into World War II, as well as other major military conflicts. The paper further states that defeat of an opponent ought not to be the ultimate aim in a conflict. Achieving long-term goals in international relations are more important and possible through diplomacy rather than by violent means such as military action.
From the Paper
" The period between 1930 and 1956 was probably the most turbulent era in recent human history. It saw the start and end of the Great Depression that destroyed the economies of most of the industrial world at one time; witnessed the rise of expansionist fascist powers in Europe and the Far-East resulting in probably the bloodiest conflict in human history; the gradual change of the US foreign policy from isolationism to intervention in the Second World War; the victory of the Allies over the Axis powers; the emergence of the US and the USSR as the two major world powers and the start of almost half a century of a Cold War between them, besides the American involvement in the eventually stalemated Korean War."

Diplomacy, 2002.
A look at different theories of international diplomacy focusing on conflict resolution.
1,930 words (approx. 7.7 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 61.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
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."

This paper discusses US diplomacy during the Second World War.
1,909 words (approx. 7.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 60.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes how the United States tried to stay neutral at the start of WWII but was ultimately drawn into the thick of the conflict, in Europe and the Pacific. The paper shows how the US foreign policy became firmly 'internationalist' as opposed to 'isolationist'. The paper discusses how, although several features of the US wartime policy are considered to have been controversial, such as its alliance with the Soviet Union, the main aims of the US policy were fully achieved.
Outline:
Background
US Policies of Neutrality, "Cash and Carry" and "Lend-Lease"
Getting Directly Involved in the War
Roosevelt's Wartime Diplomacy: Deviousness or Statesmanship?
The Goals and Outcome of American Diplomacy
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The US diplomacy during the Second World War had its roots in the aftermath of the First World War. Having taken his country into the First World War to "make the world safe for democracy," President Woodrow Wilson unveiled his vision for collective world security after the War and worked fervently for his country's entry into a "League of Nations." However, Wilson failed to get the backing of the Congress for his plan and America entered into an isolationist phase. Hence, when the Second World War started in 1939, the US public opinion, preoccupied with its domestic fight against the economic depression, was in no mood to get entangled in the War."

Identity and Niche Market, 2002.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the important issue of ?identity and niche market?, which affects the performance of every firm regardless of its size or structure. It is important to understand that having an identity plays a major role in defining the niche market and this also gives a company sense of direction. This paper studies the issue with reference to Kmart and its current situation.
From the Paper
"The topic that I have chosen for my paper is the ?Importance of having an identity and developing a niche market?. It is important to understand that while we often study numerous issues related to companies and their performance, the significance of identity and niche market is often downplayed. But having an identity plays an extremely important role in the success of any firm and in recent times we have seen some truly large firms collapsing because they failed to find a permanent place in the minds of their customers. In this connection we shall study the case of KMART because this is a very pertinent example of how identity crisis can lead to downfall of even some very large companies."

Abstract
An essay which analyzes the ineffectiveness of Australia's 'megaphone diplomacy' under John Howard in dealing with the refugees and asylum seekers issue particularly with its largest neighbor, Indonesia. It also suggests a more appropriate formula for Australia to establish better relationships with Indonesia after the East Timor crises.
From the Paper
"In analysing the effect of ?megaphone diplomacy? to Australia-Indonesia relations and to Australian engagement with the region, Kevin?s statement that ?a country?s foreign policy succeeds if its political leaders have a clear understanding of their country?s national interests and place in the world, so that they may set appropriate foreign policy goals; and if its diplomats are trained and resourced to carry out their specialist tasks of analysis and representation? could be used as the consideration. Based on his experience while serving as Australian diplomat in many Asian countries, Kevin also states that in most of the Asian regions, economic rationalism is not the dominant value system. There remains a large place for courtesy, for accommodating differences, for breaking bread together, for helping the needy, for recognising abiding values of family and friendship."

Professional Diplomacy and Modern Telecommunications, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that the stunning evolution in the telecommunications field (IT) has created the "age of speed", a time of rapid and efficient movement of information, which resulted a quick paradigm shift in the international community order and in professional career diplomacy. The author points out that the initial reaction of diplomats to IT was skepticism and rejection because they perceived that IT ultimately would make their roles obsolete; rather, although IT made changes on the current diplomatic processes and compelled diplomats to adjust their current activities, these changes were molded according to the needs and essential requirements of the diplomatic process and the diplomats themselves. The paper stresses that the most prominent element of the IT revolution is the internet. Because the basic functions of diplomats worldwide is gathering and dissemination of information.
From the Paper
"Websites specializing in diplomacy vary from one mission to the other due to various reasons. Often there is a difference in taste, for instance, among people in regards to the design of the site, or perhaps there remains an overabundance of designs for diplomatic websites that a mission can choose from. Occasionally the ministry of foreign affairs sets the design and the structure for a mission's website, as is the case with the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, the American Department of State Foreign Affairs, and the Diplomatic Service Families Association in Great Britain. Various types of information are usually offered on these sites, such as information on the mission's mother state, its domestic and foreign policy, and its relations with the host country. Some sites, such as the British High Commission office in South Africa, offer current news on business, politics, and general affairs."

Kissinger's Diplomacy, 2006.
A discussion about why Henry Kissinger's diplomacy policy was very different than other American Secretaries of State.
1,541 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Henry Kissinger used a very unique policy of diplomacy when he was Secretary of State during President Nixon's term of office. It explains that Kissinger did not like being a team-player and preferred to make most of the decisions alone. During his term, he focused on the relationship with Europe and the paper discusses how this policy was different to his predecessors.
From the Paper
"In a recent article "History and Henry Kissinger" , Robert Beisner makes a very careful distinction between an American Secretary of State and his corps of diplomats and bureaucrats, and Kissinger, who renounced "diplomacy by consensus", in fact disliked the term "diplomat" and asserted the power of a Statesman in deciding the direction of American foreign policy. In this book, Kissinger's every move seems to have been constructed to overcome the democratic barriers of foreign policy. He did not want team-work. He often disregarded Nixon's memoranda. He wanted to be known for daring, for taking unusual chances, and for succeeding"

Abstract
This paper reviews the role of the U.S. state department in deploying the public diplomacy program nationally and world wide. According to this paper, the most prevalent opinion that seems to be held worldwide is that the United States is a domineering global superpower fueled by greed and bent on conquest.
From the Paper
"What is Public Diplomacy? Public diplomacy is the method by which the United States government seeks to create an image in the eyes of the citizens of other countries. According to the U.S. Department of State, Dictionary of International Relations Terms, "public diplomacy refers to government-sponsored programs intended to inform or influence public opinion in other countries; its chief instruments are publications, motion pictures, cultural exchanges, radio, and television" (cited in United States Information Agency Alumni Association [USIAAA] 2002, par. 8). This term was first used in 1965, when the Edward R. Murrow Center for Public Diplomacy was established at Tufts University (USIAAA 2002, par. 11). The USIAAA states that some sources equate public diplomacy with propaganda. Although both forms of communication are intended to persuade people, propaganda generally has a negative connotation of "disinformation" (2002, par. 12)."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine Diplomacy by Henry A. Kissinger. The plan of the research will be to set forth the theme of and pattern of ideas in the book and then to discuss the style, emphasis, sources, organization, bias of the author, and other features that comprise the means by which the theme is elaborated, as well as Kissinger's career--all with a view toward providing an evaluation of the contributions it makes to an understanding of the subjects it undertakes.
The theme of Diplomacy has a double perspective, one historical and the other critical. From one point of view, it is a historical survey of some three hundred years worth of international relations in and among the nation-states of Europe and the United States. The survey seems partly meant to show that certain problems now being faced by the West have roots as far back as .."

From the Paper
"This study will provide a brief overview of Steve Posner's Israel Undercover: Secret Warfare and Hidden Diplomacy in the Middle East. The study will then provide an analysis of the contents of the book.
In brief, Posner's book is designed to take a realistic look behind the scenes of the struggle in the Middle East between Israel and the Arabs.
It is not a hopeful work, but its hard-nosed realism provides a context in which compromise can be seen as the only alternative to complete destruction.
As Posner writes, an overview of the region itself yields a discouraging portrait if one takes what one finds at face value. As the author writes: "In the Middle East, there are those who believe that the land cannot support both victor and vanquished."

"THE INDISPENSABILITY OF DIPLOMACY
The thesis of this essay is that diplomacy is an indispensable institution in the system of states. The practice of international relations is, for the most part, associated with conflict resolution, as conflict and disagreement ?are endemic? in the international environment (Barnaby, 1988, p. 21). Cooperation may be considered as a foundation of human civilization; however, cooperation in transnational conflict resolution has traditionally been noticeably absent in the conduct of international relations (Clem, 1983).
War or the threat of the use of force is the traditional approach to conflict resolution in the conduct of international relations (Aron, 1973). Although each national state tends to reserve a monopoly on violence for itself, through mutual diplomatic .."
