概要

The Art of Diplomacy is a bi-weekly podcast that brings global politics down from the podium and into conversation. Hosted by Florence Gaub and Joshua Yaffa, and created by the Munich Security Conference, it opens up the often opaque world of diplomacy to a broader audience. Through in-depth one-on-one interviews, the podcast explores diplomacy as a craft. Each episode features experienced practitioners — policymakers, diplomats, military leaders, and thinkers — who have spent their careers negotiating agreements, managing crises, and trying to resolve conflicts. Together, they reflect on what diplomacy really looks like in practice: how decisions are made under pressure, how trade-offs are navigated, and how common ground is found. Recorded in part on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, the podcast offers rare personal insights into the realities behind world politics — and asks one central question: What is the Art of Diplomacy? New episodes are released every other Friday. Florence Gaub is Director of the Research Division at the NATO Defense College in Rome, where she focuses on future security challenges and strategic foresight. She brings deep expertise on how conflicts evolve — and how they can be prevented. Joshua Yaffa is a staff writer at The New Yorker, covering Russia, Ukraine, and international politics. His work combines sharp political analysis with a strong sense for the human stories behind global events.Munich Security Conference 政治・政府 政治学

  • Ian Bremmer and Dan Kurtz-Phelan on Platforms of Diplomacy
    2026/04/24
    In this second episode of "The Art of Diplomacy", Florence Gaub is joined by journalist and New Yorker writer Joshua Yaffa to explore diplomacy as it unfolds in real time—at the Munich Security Conference. Together, they reflect on the unique nature of the conference itself: a space where global politics is not only discussed on stage, but shaped and processed in hallways, over coffee, and in countless informal encounters. Through two conversations recorded in Munich, Yaffa examines how this process works from different angles. With political scientist Ian Bremmer, he explores how diplomacy adapts to a moment of geopolitical rupture—when long-standing assumptions about cooperation and power are no longer stable, new alliances have to be shaped and policymakers are forced to recalibrate in real time. In his second conversation, with Foreign Affairs editor-in-chief Daniel Kurtz-Phelan, the focus shifts to interpretation: how ideas, signals, and strategic shifts are translated into language, analysis, and ultimately into policy. What does it take to make sense of a world where meaning is contested, and where tone can shape reality as much as substance? This episode was recorded on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference in mid-February 2026. *** Glossar: A G‑Zero world refers to a global order in which no single country or group of countries is both willing and able to provide effective international leadership. Coined by Ian Bremmer and Nouriel Roubini, it describes a leadership vacuum in which major powers are constrained by domestic priorities, leading to fragmented governance and weaker cooperation on global challenges.

  • Rafael Grossi on Empathy, Discipline, and Wellbeing
    2026/04/10
    In this first episode of "The Art of Diplomacy", Florence Gaub speaks with Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency. At the center of some of the most sensitive diplomatic efforts today, Grossi operates in a world where pressure is constant and stakes are existential. In this conversation, he reflects on what it takes to stay focused and effective under these conditions, both physically and mentally. And why discipline, restraint, and self-awareness are essential tools of the trade. Grossi speaks about the challenge of remaining impartial in highly polarized conflicts, and the loneliness that can come with it. He explains why listening, empathy, and the ability to see the world through the eyes of your counterpart are not just ideals, but practical necessities in negotiation. Drawing on decades of experience, from nuclear diplomacy to conflict mediation, Grossi offers a candid look at what diplomacy actually demands: patience, preparation, and the ability to hold your ground without escalating tension. The conversation with Rafael Grossi was recorded before the beginning of the war in Iran, at the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference in mid Februar 2026. For the introduction to this first episode of The Art of Diplomacy, Florence Gaub is joined by Benedikt Franke, CEO of the Munich Security Conference. * GLOSSARY The Oslo Accords are two agreements between Isreal and the Palestine Liberation Organization signed in 1993 and 1995 to establish a peace process for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Oslo-Accords https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-180015/ https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-185434/ The Dayton Accords are a peace agreement signed on November 21, 1995 that ended the war in Bosnia. https://www.britannica.com/event/Dayton-Accords https://www.ohr.int/dayton-peace-agreement/ The Harvard Negotiation Method is a collaborative, “win-win” approach that focuses on solving the problem rather than on who wins. https://www.pon.harvard.edu/daily/negotiation-skills-daily/principled-negotiation-focus-interests-c… The Good Friday Agreement, or Belfast Agreement, was signed on April 10, 1998 after 30 years of conflict between unionists and nationalists in Northern Ireland, known as the Troubles. https://www.ireland.ie/en/dfa/role-policies/northern-ireland/about-the-good-friday-agreement/ Colombia Peace Records: In November 2016, the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerilla group signed the "Final Peace Agreement" to end more than 50 years of armed conflict. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounders/colombias-civil-conflict Cuban Missile Crisis: In October 1962, the US placed a naval quarantine on Cuba after learning of Soviert nuclear missiles on the island.
