Economic diplomacy and statecraft

Full-time master’s degree in the field of Economic Diplomacy and a Statecraft deals with the issues of the activity of national institutions in promoting the economic interests of the state.

The curriculum combines the issue of economic diplomacy with the economic strategy of the state. Program points out that economic diplomacy is not only the issue of classical diplomacy with the tasks of promoting the country's economic interests, but building systemic and strategic solutions. Therefore, the study program indicates the need to treat economic diplomacy as state system related to the country's economic and political potential with its effective external promotion of its interests and cooperation with non-state actors in this area. In such an approach, it is more reasonable to use the English term "Economic Statecraft" as a multidimensional and multilevel system of promotion and implementation of economic interests abroad.

Thus, economic diplomacy is understood as an activity to face the challenges in operating in culturally, politically and legally different markets, such as the countries of the EU's eastern neighborhood. The program also draws attention to the role of Poland and Central European countries as brokers of knowledge about cultural and political conditions of economic relations with countries east of the European Union.

Economic Diplomacy and Statecraft is an excellent choice for individuals interested in international relations, global economics, and diplomacy. The programme is designed for those who want to understand how economic tools shape international cooperation and foreign policy, and who aspire to careers in government institutions, international organizations, think tanks, or the private sector operating in global markets.
