Forms of diplomatic negotiations

Bilateral Diplomatic Negotiations:

These are diplomatic negotiations that involve two countries or groups. Meerts (2015b) states that u201cBilateral diplomatic negotiations are relatively simple as far as structural complexity is concerned, but they can be difficult to handle if the positions of the parties are very polarized. These negotiations might be in need of third parties acting as facilitators or mediatorsu201d (p.1). The statement posits that bilateral diplomatic negotiations are linked with structural simplicity and polarization. Besides that, it often has a third party that acts as a mediator or facilitator.u00a0

Multilateral Diplomatic Negotiations:

Unlike bilateral diplomatic negotiations, multilateral diplomatic negotiations are not limited between two states. It demotes a diplomatic negotiation process between more than two international parties or countries. Often, the negotiation process between these parties is carried out simultaneously. Zartman (2009) reveals that while bilateral diplomatic negotiations have been used for over a century, multilateral diplomatic negotiations are a relatively novel form of negotiations. The term was coined in 1945 by the San Francisco Conference held by the United Nations. Over the years, large international conferences have employed multinational diplomatic negotiations, otherwise referred to as diplomatic legislation as an approach of conducting international relations.
