Du processus d’Oslo pour le Moyen-Orient aux discussions informelles qui ont aidé à dénouer l’impasse en Irlande du Nord, en passant par les premiers pourparlers visant à abolir l’apartheid en Afrique du Sud, la diplomatie officieuse (track two diplomacy) est devenue une approche incontournable en relations internationales. Pourtant, elle est encore relativement peu comprise et étudiée. Venez entendre des experts discuter du concept de la diplomatie officieuse et du rôle actif que joue l’Université d'Ottawa dans ce domaine.

Despite this, it is comparatively little understood and little studied. Join us on May 7 to hear from a panel of experts as they explore the idea of Track Two Diplomacy and discuss what is happening at the University of Ottawa.
