The role of Multi-Track Diplomacy in Resolving International Disputes

Abstract

Multi-track diplomacy represents a qualitative change in resolving international disputes because it depends on unconventional ways to achieve international peace and security. Though it adopts  the governmental track and considers it the major one, it has created other tracks which are no less important than the governmental one. These tracks include the non-governmental organizations, business men,  activists, religion, communications and media….etc. This kind of  integrative approach could respond to the complexities associated with international relations which are based on mutual  international dependency. Accordingly, the state is no longer the only active force but there are other active forces, the matter that requires the production and adaptation of multi- track diplomacy which aims to a strategy of multiple roles and unity of objective.
