Moved by the current growing entropy in international poli-
tics at all levels, the members of PIN (The Processes of Inter-
national Negotiation) located at the German Institute of
Global and Areas Studies (PIN-GIGA), on the suggestion of
its member, Moty Cristal, have undertaken the following
effort to produce ideas or short-term measures that can be
of use before the current System of World Disorder
becomes a World Order System again.
Inspired by the changing nature of contemporary conflicts
and the challenges they pose to conventional diplomacy,
members of the PIN network held their first conference on
the topic “New Diplomacy for New Types of Conflict”at
GIGA on 2–3 July 2018. The findings provided the founda-
tions for the present special issue. Revised versions of sev-
eral articles were presented at the 2019 ISA Annual
Convention in Toronto, and at the 2019 GLOBSEC Forum in
Bratislava.
The editors would like to thank Isabelle Talpain-Long, the
Conflict Management Program Coordinator at SAIS, and Mar-
kus Kirchschlager, the PIN coordinator at GIGA, for their con-
tinuous support on this project. Our gratitude extends to
Alexandra Martin for inviting the PIN network to participate
at the GLOBSEC Forum and endorsing the special issue. We
are grateful for invaluable guidance, patience, and advice
given to us by Eva-Maria Nag, Lousie Haysey, and their edi-
torial team at Global Policy.
New Conflicts, New Diplomacy.
