We're co-designers, co-producers and co-consumers of public diplomacy.
Economic diplomacy is defined as the actions of both state and non-state actors aimed at promoting cross-border trade and sustainable finance through negotiation, communication and representation.
The Institute engages with international organisations (UN, IMF, WBG, OECD events) and non-state actors to advocate for sustainable policies and solutions that prioritize global financial stability, and economic growth while reducing pressures on the environment and taking into account social and governance aspects.
Economic Diplomacy Division is designed to enhance economic diplomacy research and provide the bridge between academic professorship, the diplomatic community, and the business world.
It represents the focal point for all economic diplomacy activities and consists of more than 70 Doctor/Ph.D. members and Professionals in the field. That provides us coverage of the full spectrum of economic diplomacy issues.
We aim to provide research, analysis, and policy recommendations to businesses and NGOs on challenges in the field of economic diplomacy.
We push our efforts in building the tools, and resources to support the economic diplomacy stakeholders and ensure that they have the training and resources needed to work at the intersection of globalization and vulnerable business environments around the globe.
Our mission is to identify barriers to economic opportunity and develop scalable solutions that will empower people throughout the world to rise out of poverty and achieve better life outcomes.
Our members are invited to hold wide consultations and develop jointly the strategy for Economic Diplomacy.
The Division brings together a broad network of economic diplomats contributing to the achievement of economic justice for all. It ensures that public diplomats are recognized and heard in promoting an inclusive economy as a basic human right, accessible to all, improving and supporting transparency in the economy through public diplomacy tools and in designing, implementing and measuring results of relevant policies everywhere.
Under the umbrella of the Division, cooperation among its members will be strengthened, reinforcing the expertise and vision of each of the members to add value and support the work of relevant international organizations.
The Division encourages its members in playing a key role towards the achievement of the SDGs through the use of diplomatic skills and cooperation with both public and private sectors, with an agenda of promoting trade as a human right.
Global economic goals such as Sustainable Development Goals cannot be achieved without cooperation, coordination, and collaboration across sectors and among diverse, non-state actors in the areas of economic development who are increasingly influencing international policy, funding structures, and the proliferation of services and initiatives.
Instead of state-to-state diplomacy as interactions between representatives of sovereign states, we have developed:
people-to-state diplomacy,
people-to-international organisations diplomacy, and
people-to-people diplomacy.
It is now possible for large numbers of people to participate in sustained and decentralized communication with each other, governments and international organisations.
Institut de diplomatie publique acts as a space to
test,
model, and
scale successful practices
in education diplomacy providing its resources for thought and analysis to serve stakeholders who develop, implement, or teach all aspects of science and diplomacy.
In terms of the relationship between the actors, our partnership can be described as a pluricentric system based on a nonhierarchical relationship between stakeholders. We encourage inclusive, non-hierarchical communication and intentionally cultivate an environment in which every stakeholder is treated as an integral part of our mission-focused partnership.
This model involves a large number of interdependent actors-diverse experts from relevant sectors- who interact with each other in order to produce an outcome.
In terms of decision-making, the partnership is based on rationality.
Compliance is ensured through trust and ethical obligations which, over time, become sustained by self-constituted rules and norms.
This is a model of public diplomacy that is transnational in scope and unconventional in tone and breadth of topic.
Through the Partnership, members can exchange and disseminate information to promote best practices, compare their different initiatives and identify barriers and opportunities, while respecting national and regional contexts.
Where appropriate, willing members can further strive to align their initiatives and approaches.
To deliver our mission INSTITUT DE DIPLOMATIE PUBLIQUE as a non-state actor in diplomacy facilitates and promotes the contribution of stakeholders from different sectors at the global level, including at United Nations, IMF, WBG, and OECD events.
For this purpose, the Institute regularly receives special accreditations for conferences, summits, meetings, or other events organized by the UN, IMF, WBG, OECD.

The Institute participates in Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund
October 2023, O. Weretelnik (PhD) participates in the 2023 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group (WBG) in Marrakech, Morocco, as a member of the delegation from Institut de diplomatie publique.
The Annual Meetings serve as a platform for finance ministers, agency heads, central bank representatives, NGOs, and academics from around the world to convene and discuss global concerns.
Key topics include the world economic outlook, development, and responses to climate change.
The meetings focus on fostering balanced, resilient, and inclusive global economic growth; controlling inflation and maintaining price stability; promoting transformative reforms to tackle global economic challenges; eradicating poverty; and responding effectively to climate change.
