Special Issue - New Diplomacy for New Conflicts

This special issue addresses the the changing nature of contemporary conflicts and the challenges they pose to conventional diplomacy. The topic was explored at the “New Diplomacy for New Types of Conflict” conference at the German Institute of Global and Areas Studies on 2–3 July 2018. The findings provided the foundations for many of the issue's articles. They cover contemporary approaches to understanding and resolving conflicts, often through the lens of regional and country case studies.
