Policymaking by
Diplomats
23. • Diplomacy has existed since the beginning of the human race.
• The act of conducting negotiations between two persons, or
two nations at a large scope is essential to the upkeep of
international affairs.
• Among the many functions of diplomacy, some include
preventing war and violence, and fortifying relations between
two nations.
• Diplomacy is most importantly used to complete a specific
agenda.
• Therefore without diplomacy, much of the world’s affairs would
be abolished, international organizations would not exist, and
above all the world would be at a constant state of war.
• It is for diplomacy that certain countries can exist in harmony.
Functions of Diplomacy
24. First Function of Diplomacy
• The first function involves “representing a state’s interests and
conducting negotiations or discussions designed to identify
common interests as well as areas of disagreement between the
parties, for the purpose of achieving the state’s goals and avoiding
conflict”
• Representations of a state as well as negotiation are the most
important functions of diplomacy.
• Negotiations between two representatives are a key component in
diplomacy, because in doing so the representatives find a common
interest.
• Finding a common interest is vital in conducting negotiations
because with a common interest representatives are able to devise
a solution that is in the interest of both sides.
25. Second Function of Diplomacy
• The second function of diplomacy involves “the
gathering of information and subsequent
identification and evaluation of the receiving
state’s foreign policy goals” (Ameri 1).
• Diplomatic posts are concerned with gathering
information; however when the information is
sent back to their native country a Foreign
Ministry analyzes the data and determines what
foreign policy should be enacted. Political leaders
choose what path is right for their country then.
26. Third Function of Diplomacy
• The third major function of diplomacy is
expansion of political, economic, and cultural ties
between two countries (Ameri 2).
• For example, after WWII countries such as the
United States and Britain aimed their foreign
policy at the extermination of communism. In
present day, the United States State Department
engages international audiences to speak about
politics, security, and their values to help create
an environment receptive to US national
interests.
27. Final or Fourth Function of Diplomacy
• Finally, the fourth function of diplomacy is
that “diplomacy is the facilitating or enforcing
vehicle for the observation of international
law” (Ameri 2).
• It is the diplomat’s job to promote the
country’s national interests and keep ties with
other countries open.
28. • Embassy
A diplomatic mission located in the capital city of another country which generally offer a full
range of services, including consular services.
• High Commission

range of services.

diplomats may become disconnected from
their own country and culture.
