<p> This thesis examines one of the most
useful instruments yet devised for regulating
the relations of states diplomacy. It explains
how, from the beginning of the modern
state system, traditional diplomacy has served
the needs of the international community. </p> <p> The major part of this study focuses on
the diplomatic activities that take place at
the United Nations, especially as they concern
the Security Council, the General Assembly,
and the Secretariat with the Secretary General.
Support is presented for the contention
that traditional, "quiet" diplomacy
plays an important role at the United Nations,
even though on the surface the United Nations
appears to be pre-occupied with public debate,
vote swapping, and distortion of basic international
issues. </p> <p> The role of small nations in an international
society is also briefly discussed. </p> / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)
