Diplomatic capital
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Diplomatic capital refers to the trust, goodwill, and influence which a diplomat, or a state represented by its diplomats, has within international diplomacy. According to political scientist Rebecca Adler-Nissen, diplomatic capital is a kind of currency that can be traded in diplomatic negotiations and that is increased when positive ″social competences, reputation and personal authority" are portrayed.[1]
Accumulation and loss
Diplomatic capital can be accumulated for example by economic cooperation[2] and by contributions to the solution of international crises,[3] It is strengthened when in other countries the sentiment prevails that the interests of a state or the diplomats representing it are aligned with their own interests. Conversely, it can be squandered when a country engages in a confrontation, an armed conflict or a war, if that is perceived as unjust or at odds with the interests of others.[4][5]
Diplomatic capital is also linked to the extent of enforcement of human rights.[6]
