The special module on multilateral diplomacy offers a unique learning experience that broadens the knowledge horizons of diplomats, students, public servants, entrepreneurs, civil society activists, liberal professionals, helping them to understand the United Nations (UN) (2015) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in its very birthplace as a concept – the United Nations. The students will be guided into the plethora of UN entities and to the patterns of cooperation between the member states and non-state actors, businesses and civil society organizations. The module will clarify also the rules of multilateral diplomacy and the nature of the decision-making processes leading to either hard law or soft law, or simple cooperation settings.
Former Ambassador to United Nations (Geneve – Switzerland)
Once upon a time there was a concert
From the law of force to the force of law
Thinking of peace in times of war
A new balance of power
Old wine in new bottles?
The soft power of the world organisation
A short journey through the labyrinth
A complex world, a complex organisation
On the stage and behind the scenes
An objective view on the assessed contributions to the regular budget
