Diplomacy is about getting what you want without having to resort to violence, and the other party also gains in interacting with you.Originally posted by jay_rocks:always cant get diplomacy this chapter into my head -
not forgetting maintaining good relationship with the other party.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Diplomacy is about getting what you want without having to resort to violence, and the other party also gains in interacting with you. -
Good relationships are not always there forever. E.g nations have no permanent friends, only interests.Originally posted by seotiblizzard:not forgetting maintaining good relationship with the other party.
As long as both parties can sit down in peace and negotiate, then diplomacy is going on fine.

That's Singapore's version of "diplomacy". Look at other countries around the world, and sadly, you'll find that for many of them, "diplomacy" is a zero-sum game, where losers exist. Not everyone is or can be a winner, in such a world-view. That's real "diplomacy" for you.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Diplomacy is about getting what you want without having to resort to violence, and the other party also gains in interacting with you. -
Popikachu: you got the content down, but in order to do well for an SEQ question on this topic, you need to think about the relative importance of the various factors in Singapore's diplomacy. For example, which of the three types of diplomacy - bilateral relations, regional relations (Asean) and multilateral relations (UN) - is most important to Singapore, and why.
