WHAT DOES DIPLOMACY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

diplomacy

Diplomacy

Diplomacy is the art and practice of conducting negotiations between representatives of states. It usually refers to international diplomacy, the conduct of international relations through the intercession of professional diplomats with regard to issues of peace-making, trade, war, economics, culture, environment, and human rights. International treaties are usually negotiated by diplomats prior to endorsement by national politicians. 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. The scholarly discipline of diplomatics, dealing with the study of old documents, derives its name from the same source, but its modern meaning is quite distinct from the activity of diplomacy.

Definition of diplomacy in the English dictionary

The first definition of diplomacy in the dictionary is the conduct of the relations of one state with another by peaceful means. Other definition of diplomacy is skill in the management of international relations. Diplomacy is also tact, skill, or cunning in dealing with people.
