Diplomacy - A good overview of Diplomacy in general.
Ambassador - Good descriptive article about Ambassadors
UNESCO Goodwill Ambassadors - A group of Ambassadors similar to ours, except ours utilizes many formal diplomatic protocols in practice and we conduct our activity online. Some of these same people are also consultants or advisors to our very MUNSNE Program. If you know any of them ask them to join our program and collaborate directly, they are all very great people.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) - Communication method that avoids the use of coercion (inducing fear, guilt, shame, praise, blame, duty, obligation, punishment, or reward). Does it sound difficult to achieve? It is.
Commonwealth of Nations - You probably did not know this intergovernmental organization even existed, they work very similar to our model and is based on cooperation treaties.
Reciprocity - Here you will find a number of articles that will be especially helpful for anyone who is serious about social networking. Try to apply the Golden Rule as opposed to the Eye for an Eye, it is more Diplomatic. Focus on the first seven articles here.
