Welcome to the U.S. Diplomacy website of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training.

While primarily designed to assist entry-level practitioners of diplomacy, this site seeks also to provide more general audiences with reliable information on U.S. diplomatic history, specific dimensions of contemporary diplomacy and the domestic and foreign activities of the State Department.  In addition to the written text, it contains extensive reference material, including not only bibliographic references but also many web links, source documents and video clips on, for example, Secretaries of State, “Foreign Service Examples of Excellence,” “Diplomats in Harm’s Way” and African American Foreign Service pioneers.

Visitors to the site are encouraged to explore its contents by clicking on the sitemap. 

ADST is an independent, non-governmental organization located at the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) at the State Department’s George P. Shultz National Foreign Affairs Training Center in Arlington, Virginia.  This website has been made possible through a grant from the Una Chapman Cox Foundation.

While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of information on this site, its contents have not been submitted for approval by the U.S. Department of State or any other official agency.
