#DiplomacyDialogue State of International Affairs

The State of International Affairs – #DiplomacyDialogue

A #WebPolicyTalk series by the #IMPRI Center for International Relations and Strategic Studies (CIRSS)

We live in a highly connected world, and the events and happenings in one country directly and/or indirectly impact other countries. From bilateral relations to multilateral arrangements, from diplomacy to sanctions and from globalization to protectionism, the role of small and developing states, reforms of global governance structures, and processes, non-state actors and international policy development are the areas that deserve a concerted understanding.

This discussion series – The State of International Affairs – #DiplomacyDialogue – being carried out by the #IMPRI Center for International Relations and Strategic Studies (CIRSS),  is aimed to engage with leaders, ambassadors, and experts to discuss the important foreign policy issues to foster greater understanding of the complexities of unfolding events, trends, and geopolitics. As countries make headway into becoming a responsible power in the new world order, the series seeks to present the insights and analysis to scholars of international relations and those interested in the theories, dynamism, developments, trends in diplomacy, and foreign affairs.

The #WebPolicyTalks are conducted via Zoom webinars and streamed live on Facebook. The event video is available on the #IMPRI YouTube Channel, thereafter. A recording of the session is also available on the #WebPolicyTalk: Live at IMPRI podcast, on Spotify and Google Podcasts.
