Diplomacy is not quite the world’s oldest profession, but it remains one of the most misunderstood. This course will provide an up close and personal look into the work and lives of American diplomats and U.S. embassy personnel. They are our first line of defense, promoting our national interests in an increasingly unsettled and dangerous world. Learn how America’s foreign policy is formulated in Washington, D.C. and how it is implemented by America’s more than 270 diplomatic establishments worldwide. Learn how diplomats protect U.S. citizens, promote American jobs and businesses, stop pandemics, confront our adversaries and rally our allies to our side.
