Course Title:
Economics and Diplomacy
Course Number:
3107
Course Description:
Traditional diplomacy dealt with political and military issues that were defined by many scholars as “High Politics”. In
contrast, economic, social and cultural issues were labeled “Low Politics”. Since the second half of the 20 century
economic diplomacy has been perceived as an integral part of “High Politics”. This is emphasized by economic summits
where attention is focused on economic matters alongside political and military problems that are part of the global
agenda. At a regional level, the peace process in the Middle East included multilateral economic conferences parallel to
political conferences. Another example is the Barcelona process which included cooperation on three dimensions:
economic as well as political and cultural.
The course will define the concept economic diplomacy, examine its unique features and will explore its developments in
the early years of the 21 century .
