This is a summary of sample exam questions professor Jan Melissen provided during the classes of Diplomatie at UA . These are examples of possible exam questions he might ask during the exam.
Class 2:
Exam questions:
- Cohen:
Compare diplomacy in two different diplomatic systems (Ancient Near Eastern,
Ancient Greece, Italian Renaissance)
Do not just memorize but understand how relationships were organized back then.
- Wiseman:
Diplomacy in the premodern world was experimental and innovative. It is a man-
made and complex institution. Compare the diplomatic practice of the past and give
examples of experimentation. What kind of diplomatic experimentation was going
on?
- Fletcher:
Italian renaissance is often seen as a turning point or as the birthplace of modern
diplomacy. Explain or discuss.
Class 3:
Exam questions:
Based on the literature, form your own definition of diplomacy, and compose a
one-page statement expressing your standpoint on the subject.
Compare the two literature titles related to theory and diplomacy (Wiseman and
Constantinou and Sharp) and identify areas where they enhance or complement each
other
How can we interpret networking as a central aspect of diplomacy if it involves
relationships between actors rather than originating from an international system?
Class 4:
Exam questions:
- Dunn & Locke-Pullan:
The analysis of modern summit diplomacy from the second half of the 20th
century to the present reveals significant changes during this period. It raises
questions about the evolution of summit diplomacy while also highlighting critical
shifts that have taken place. Give a critical analysis of the evolution of modern
summit diplomacy. What are some examples of these significant changes that
happened?
What is your definition of summitry, and what are the limitations you see in the
practice of physical meetings/summitry?
- Wong:
In what ways have political leaders strategically utilized their diplomatic and
communicative interactions with others, and how can we develop a theoretical
understanding of summits? What is Wong's perspective on this phenomenon?
- Naylor: The answer to the question requires an explanation that is more in-depth
than that of Naylor. This is because there can be overarching questions that require
you to make a connection between different subjects, in this case: the link between
summitry diplomacy and digitalization
How has summitry been impacted by the era of digitalization and social
distancing?
