Understanding Diplomacy
Understanding Diplomacy.
Understanding the World Around Us.
A series by the Somali Diplomacy Centre explaining diplomacy, international institutions, agreements, and the ideas that shape Somalia's place in the world.
WHY THIS SERIES
Making Diplomacy Easier to Follow.
International affairs can be difficult to navigate. Institutions have different mandates, agreements have their own frameworks, and diplomatic terms are often used without much explanation.
Understanding Diplomacy takes these subjects and explains them in a clear, accessible way, starting with the concepts and institutions that help us understand Somalia's engagement with the world.
