Diplomatic Correspondence

This course pulls back the curtain on what diplomats actually do day-to-day, drafting cables and note verbales, navigating immunities and protocol, and reading political developments from an embassy desk rather than a textbook. You'll work through real correspondence formats, study negotiation cases like Lausanne and the Cod Wars, and produce things a junior diplomat would actually write: a white paper for a host country, reflective essays on protocol, and group presentations framed around Turkish foreign policy. It's a practical complement to the theory-heavy IR core, and especially useful if you're eyeing the MFA exam or any career where official communication has to be precise, formal, and politically aware.
