Abstract
Description
This analytical research identified and discussed the theoretical relevance of
diplomacy as a sharp instrument for foreign policy management and diplomatic
pr;~~Ha and after presenting incontrovertible empirical facts from case studies
which include lraq, Somalia, Liberia, Kosovo. Sierra Leone, Rwanda and
Burundi the paper opined that in practice, diplomacy has become a blunt tool for
foreign policy management hence irrelevant in contemporary world politics.
From this basic premise, the exposition concludes that given the multiplicity of
woeful failures of diplomacy to settle world conflicts and th'' tact that mankind
prefers diplomacy instead of wars, the paper still expects diplomacy to prevail.
May diplomacy prevail?
