INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM FORM(S) OF DIPLOMACY

UNIVERSITY OF TOULOUSE-JEAN JAURES.

12-13 June 2014

This colloquium will analyse the changing theoretical and practical forms of political, economic and cultural diplomacy from the eve of the Thirty Years War to the questioning of the Westphalian system in the 20th and the 21st centuries. It will focus on the English-speaking countries and the nations with which it has had privileged links. We will contrast mainstream diplomacy and marginal or alternative forms of diplomacy. The growing use of cultural diplomacy (soft power), of commercial diplomacy and of paradiplomacy will be at the heart of our debates. The hard power of government-to-government diplomacy will be pitted against other levels of diplomatic undertakings involving non-governmental stakeholders. The role of art, literature and culture as diplomatic instruments and the artist as diplomat will be a new aspect of the analysis of diplomacy. Studying official and non-official diplomatic figures, real and fictional ambassadors, allows us to consider the linguistic and stylistic features of the diplomatic rhetoric.
