Diplomat and Diplomacy

A diplomat is a person appointed by a state to conduct diplomacy with another state or international organization.¹ The main functions of diplomats revolve around the representation and protection of the interests and nationals of the sending state, as well as the promotion of information and friendly relations.²

Diplomats in posts collect and report information that could affect national interests, often with advice about how the home country government should respond.³ Then, once any policy response has been decided in the home country's capital, posts bear major responsibility for implementing it.⁴ Diplomats have the job of conveying, in the most persuasive way possible, the views of the home government to the governments to which they are accredited and, in doing so, to try to convince those governments to act in ways that suit home country interests.⁵ In this way, diplomats are part of the beginning and the end of each loop in the continuous process through which foreign policy is made.⁶

The home country will usually send instructions to a diplomatic post on what foreign policy goals to pursue, but decisions on tactics - who needs to be influenced, what will best persuade them, who are potential allies and adversaries, and how it can be done - are for the diplomats overseas to make.⁷

In this operation, the intelligence, integrity, cultural understanding and energy of individual diplomats are critical.⁸ If they are any good at their jobs, they will have developed relationships grounded in trust and mutual understanding with influential members of the country in which they are accredited.⁹ They will have worked hard to understand the motives, thought patterns and culture of the other side.¹⁰

The diplomat should be an excellent negotiator but, above all, a catalyst for peace and understanding between peoples.¹¹ The diplomat's principal role is to foster peaceful relations between states.¹²This role takes on heightened importance once war breaks out.¹³Negotiation must necessarily continue but within significantly altered contexts.¹⁴

Diplomacy is the art and practice of conducting negotiations between representatives of states. It usually refers to international diplomacy, the conduct of international relations.¹⁵ through the intercession of professional diplomats with regard to issues of peace-making, trade, war, economics, culture, environment, and human rights.¹⁶International treaties are usually negotiated by diplomats prior to endorsement by national politicians.¹⁷ In an informal or social sense, diplomacy is the employment of tact to gain strategic advantage or to find mutually acceptable solutions to a common challenge, one set of tools being the phrasing of statements in a non-confrontational or polite manner.¹⁸
