Inter-war Diplomacy

Why it matters

• The transition from traditional balance-of-power politics to the emergence of institutionalized multilateralism through international organizations.
• The inherent limitations of diplomatic frameworks in addressing systemic geopolitical tensions and the rise of revisionist powers.
• The failure of collective security mechanisms to prevent the collapse of international order and the subsequent shift toward regional alliances.

How it is asked

Focus on the structural failures of international institutions, the evolution of diplomatic norms, and the geopolitical consequences of economic instability during this era.
