Diplomacy Back to Index

	Generally, diplomacy refers to the interaction between two or more nation-states. Traditionally carried out by government officials, who negotiate treaties, trade policies, and other international agreements, the term has been extended to include unofficial exchanges of private citizens (such as cultural, scientific, and religious exchanges) as well as unofficial (sometimes called “citizen” or “track-two”) diplomacy in which private citizens actually try to develop solutions to international diplomatic problems.
