Shuttle Diplomacy

diplomacy

Definition

Shuttle diplomacy is a conflict resolution method in which an intermediary, often a diplomat or envoy, travels between disputing parties who are unwilling or unable to meet directly. The goal is to mediate and find common ground through separate negotiations. This tactic is particularly useful in international diplomacy when parties are geographically distant or when direct communication is too hostile. Its effectiveness was notably demonstrated by U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in the Middle East during the 1970s peace negotiations.
