<br/><br/> All states are doomed to diplomacy. In recent years, there has also been a quiet counter-revolution in the way it is conducted. It discusses the art of negotiation and the many channels through which it is practised. Public diplomacy, about which so much is now heard, also receives attention. Consular work, currently regarded by governments as more important than ever because of the massive increase in cross-border movements of tourists, students, asylum seekers, drug- and people-traffickers, and actual or potential terrorists, is among other hot-topics.
