10. Appeasement Appeasement is a specific type of diplomacy where the main aim of communication is to avoid full-frontal war. This is done by making concessions to, and negotiations with, powers or leaders who are acting in an aggressive way. The term was originally developed by Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister of the interwar period, and was implemented by the "Allies", as they would come to be known, in order to prevent Hitler from taking aggressive action.

11. Citizen diplomacy Citizen diplomacy is the political idea that average citizens can act as representatives of a cause or country, if "official" or governmental interactions are inappropriate. Citizen diplomacy does not have to involve direct address or conversation - it can take the form of sporting events or scientific exchanges. Leadership Management Consulting. [email protected]

12. Deterrence Deference is the idea that people should recognize and submit to the authority of their superiors. It is seen, for example, in the workplace - it would be deemed acceptable for your boss to tell you what to do, but unacceptable for you to tell your boss what to do. This is because, due to the concept of deference, your boss has more authority than you do, and therefore has the power to control your actions and behaviour (to an extent).
