Detailed notes of all classes of the course Modern Diplomacy taught by Prof. dr. Johan Verbeke. I just studied this document and got 19/20 on the exam. The lay-out looks a bit messier than my other summaries but it contains all the important information.

, • Not a question on pure facts and figures
• More about knowledge in terms of reflections, but to the extent to
which understanding of the chapters is also tested
§ Chapter on conflict cycle and use of force will definitely be part of this!
§ What was the problem with that treaty? What are the criteria for
considering a war as being a just war? (answer in general, assess
importance, no simple enumeration)
o Skills question: 5/20
§ Covered in the last part of the coursebook
§ Range from conversation, debate, argumentation, leadership, negotiation,
chairing a meeting, etc.
§ Also, negative skills: positively/constructively not doing something
§ You are the spokesperson of your minister and you are going somewhere
(e.g. Tehran, Iran), sth happens at the very beginning of the contact,
someone is not there à how will you solve this as a spokesperson?
§ Application of the skills that we will be seeing in the last part of the course

Textbook:
- We will not cover everything à not all chapters will be part of the course
- Consult the indicative list
- Go through course in natural way
- Compromise is messy ßà lawyer is very neat

à This course is letting you feel how a diplomat’s mind should work properly
