Programmes

CDSP: Clingendael's Diplomatic Studies Programme

The Clingendael's Diplomatic Studies Programme (CDSP) combines some of the Institute's traditional strengths in the fields of research and training with new fields of interest. The Programme has three broad dimensions. First, it studies diplomacy, particularly contemporary trends and innovations in diplomatic practice. Secondly, it is dedicated to an increased understanding of global issues and the development of policy responses to governance challenges raised by the erosion of national boundaries. Thirdly, the CDSP builds on Clingendael's long-standing strengths in the field of diplomatic training for a variety of countries and international relations courses for Netherlands policy makers.
