Diplomacy is being polite and reasonable when the other guy is being an asshole.
-Ancient Van Bokkelen Proverb
In contemporary America? The current government kind of misses the whole point. Look at what happened in Iraq and the loss of support from our allies. You will wind up writing your paper on what diplomacy isn't instead of what it is.
