Explore the evolution of multilateral diplomacy in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment.
This course introduces participants to the diplomatic interaction among more than two actors, with particular emphasis on the multilateral diplomacy represented by the UN system. Participants examine an overview of all protagonists and their roles, as well as the complex institutional framework and intricate rules, in parallel with the expansion of its thematic horizons and its membership. These challenging topics are complemented by insights and interpretations of some controversial Articles of the United Nations Charter. Using illustrative case studies, the course blends an academic perspective with the experience of current practitioners of multilateral diplomacy.
