Diplomatic Theory and Practice is an exceptional course. As a practicing diplomat, I thought this course would have been a walk in the park, but I was pleasantly surprised with the multifaceted approach to diplomacy it presented. My knowledge and skill set in diplomacy have been enriched because of this programme and I recommend it with my highest enthusiasm.
