Tracks of Diplomacy

Traditionally, the term "diplomacy" referred to interaction between nation-states. More recently, however, scholars have delineated several levels of diplomacy. Tracks 1 and 2 are the most frequently used terms. A composite term is multitrack diplomacy.

Track 1 diplomacy: Official discussions typically involving high-level political and military leaders and focusing on cease-fires, peace talks, and treaties and other agreements.

Track 2 diplomacy: Unofficial dialogue and problem-solving activities aimed at building relationships and encouraging new thinking that can inform the official process. Track 2 activities typically involve influential academic, religious, and NGO leaders and other civil society actors who can interact more freely than high-ranking officials. 

Some analysts use the term track 1.5 to denote a situation in which official and non-official actors work together to resolve conflicts.

Track 3 diplomacy: People-to-people diplomacy undertaken by individuals and private groups to encourage interaction and understanding between hostile communities and involving awareness raising and empowerment within these communities. Normally focused at the grassroots level, this type of diplomacy often involves organizing meetings and conferences, generating media exposure, and political and legal advocacy for marginalized people and communities.

Multitrack diplomacy: A term for operating on several tracks simultaneously, including official and unofficial conflict resolution efforts, citizen and scientific exchanges, international business negotiations, international cultural and athletic activities, and other cooperative efforts. These efforts could be led by governments, professional organizations, businesses, churches, media, private citizens, training and educational institutes, activists, and funders.


Backchannel diplomacy refers to secret lines of communication held open between two adversaries. It is often communicated through an informal intermediary or through a third party.

Backchannel communication refers to a secondary conversation that takes place at the same time as a conference session, lecture, or instructor-led learning activity.

In a partial lifting of a transaction freeze, an Italian court on Saturday allowed India to encash bank guarantees, worth about Rs. 1,818 crore, deposited by AgustaWestland in a bank there in the VVIP chopper deal which was scrapped because of bribery allegations.
After the Rs.3600-crore deal was cancelled on January 1 this year, India had initiated the process to seize bank guarantees deposited in banks in Italy and India.
While the money deposited in Indian banks was encashed, the Italian court had stayed the process of seizure in that country.

ONGC to drill near Chennai

The Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) will spud (begin drilling) its first-ever well in the Palar basin at a village called Chinnapuliyur, near Gummidipoondi, about 45 km from Chennai, on Sunday.
The Palar basin is located between two hydrocarbon-producing basins in the South — the Krishna-Godavari basin in the north and the Cauvery basin to the south.

A day before Ukraine was to elect a new President the rebellious Russian-speaking regions ramped up their rebellion against Kiev, deciding to form a new independent state.
The formation of Novorossiya, or New Russia, as the eastern part of Ukraine was called in the 19th century, was announced at a meeting of pro-independence activists from Ukraine’s eight southeast provinces in Donetsk.
Novorossiya will initially be made up of the “People’s Republics” of Donetsk and Luhansk, which declared their independence earlier this month. It is planned that six more regions — Nikoyayev, Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Zaporozhie and Kherson, will join the new state after holding referendums on independence, similar to those held in Donetsk and Luhansk held in May.
