SUMMARY: Democracy is said to be the pillar to the voice of the average citizen but why is it that foreign policies do not reflect the general concerns and opinions of people at home? This webinar will explore this important distinction with an introduction to grassroot diplomacy.
The Olympics And Sports Diplomacy
SUMMARY: The Olympics is more than just a sporting event. It is a unique opportunity for all countries to promote its national interest and strengths to all that are watching. This webinar will explore the concept of soft power and consider the ways in which stronger diplomatic ties can be harnessed through sporting events.

SUMMARY: Diplomats and politicians are the people’s representatives, at home and abroad. Yet, very few know exactly what their roles are. Due to this, unrealistic expectations are placed upon them and efforts are wasted when approaching the wrong official. This webinar will examine both roles in detail.
