Introduction

The role of a diplomat and diplomatic missions must change to reflect how diplomacy is evolving in a global context. Diplomatic missions are increasingly dealing with a larger range of organizations, from international non-governmental organizations to pressure groups to what is known as "citizen diplomacy," or people and small groups advocating for particular interests.

Foreign service officers and diplomats are also focusing on new fields of study, such as scientific diplomacy, digital diplomacy, and, most importantly, soft power diplomacy and country branding.  Diplomacy and International Relations focuses on the more recent growth of soft power, scientific and defense diplomacy, and digital diplomacy as major topics in international relations in a global economy, in addition to more conventional areas of etiquette, diplomacy, and statecraft.
