International diplomacy is the conduct of relations by professional diplomats between groups and nations including issues such as peace-making, trade, economics, culture and war. Some diplomatic negotiations result in treaties which are then endorsed by the politicians of the nations involved. The art and practice of diplomacy requires a thorough knowledge of the country with which a diplomat conducts relations. Therefore, resources in this module include profiles of countries, American foreign policy, and foreign relations information.
