Diplomacy is the process of conducting negotiations and managing relations between nations, typically through official representatives like ambassadors, to resolve disputes and advance mutual interests without conflict.
Key actors include diplomats (ambassadors, envoys), foreign ministers, heads of state/government, and international organizations (e.g., UN), all working to advance their nation's foreign policy goals.
Diplomacy is crucial for maintaining international peace and security by providing a framework for dialogue, preventing conflicts, resolving disagreements, and building trust and cooperation among nations through negotiation.
Common forms include bilateral (between two countries), multilateral (among several countries, often in international forums), public diplomacy (engaging foreign publics), and economic diplomacy (promoting trade and investment).
