About

Track-II diplomacy refers to unofficial dialogues and problem-solving activities aimed at building relationships and encouraging new thinking that can inform official Track-I processes. It typically involves non-governmental actors such as academics, former officials, and experts.

The Shadow Diplomacy Project analyzes live geopolitical conflicts through neutral, multi-actor policy memos. Each memo adopts the perspective of a specific state actor, simulating internal foreign policy deliberations.

The project emphasizes analytical rigor, adherence to international law, and strategic reasoning in its assessments.
