Welcome to the [[International relations]] WikiProject!

==Goals==
* The main goals of this WikiProject are made up of two parts:
** to create a detailed account of diplomatic relations between countries both in the past and present
** to define in detail diplomatic processes, its parts, and the occupations involved

==Scope==
* The project covers all articles that involve a relationship between 2 or more governing entities. Said entities include those that exist today and those that do not exist anymore, such as the [[Soviet Union]].<br>Articles under this project's scope include, but are not limited to:
**'''Diplomatic terms, processes, occupations''' - Examples include [[diplomacy]], [[foreign relations]], [[Chargé d'affaires]], etc.
**'''International organizations''' - Such organizations must consist of a union with several member governments.  Examples include the [[League of Nations]], [[United Nations]] and the [[European Union]]
**'''Diplomats''' - This includes [[ambassadors]], [[diplomats]], [[consul (representative)|consuls]], [[foreign ministers]], etc. Examples include [[Hersey Kyota]], [[List of Ambassadors of Russia to Austria]]
**'''International meetings''' - International meetings include [[summit (meeting)|summits]] and other interaction between political leaders in the interest of foreign relations. Examples include [[Millennium Summit]], [[Shamrock Summit]], and [[Summit of the Americas]]. 
**'''Foreign relations''' - This describes the policies that a particular country has ''vis-à-vis'' with other countries, or on particular issues (e.g.: [[Foreign relations of Qatar]].  Additionally this also includes the category which details the network of foreign missions a country has abroad (e.g.: [[Qatari diplomatic missions]]), and diplomatic missions located in that country (e.g.: [[List of diplomatic missions in Russia]]).
**'''Bilateral relations''' - This involves the relationship between two governments. An example is [[Australia–Russia relations]], and the [[Ngo Dinh Diem presidential visit to Australia]].

==Popular pages==
* '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject International relations/Popular pages|Popular pages]]''': A bot-generated list of pageviews, useful for focused cleanup of frequently viewed articles.

* Add proper headings to succession boxes
** Question: Is Secretary of State a Diplomatic Post or a Political Office?  I see no header for a cabinet level office. See [[Template:S-start/doc]]
***One answer:  If it's (normally) elected, it's political.  If appointed, it's diplomatic.  Example:  The [[Secretary of State of Kansas]] is elected.  That's true in many if not all states of the US.  On the other hand, per the [[Appointments Clause]], the President "shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint" all "Officers of the United States," with an "officer" being someone who exercises "significant authority". 
** What is the history of chanceries? Specifically, when did chanceries/embassies become sovereign territory?
*** In modern times, under the 1961 [[Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations|Vienna Convention]], specifically articles 21-25. Note that chanceries are not sovereign territory, as the Khashoggi case [https://time.com/5429365/saudi-consulate-sovereignty-territory-khashoggi/ showed], merely inviolable. In ancient times, it was the body of the ambassador that was inviolate, rather than a specific building.

==Importance scale==
''For the quality scale, see the Version 1.0 Editorial Team's [[Template:Grading scheme|grading scheme]].''

<div style="font-size:smaller;">
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Label
! Criteria
! Reader's experience
! Editor's experience
! Example
|-
! {{Top-importance}}
| The article is one of the core organizations in international relations or is a very broad overview article with many sub-articles.
| A reader who is not involved in international relations will have high familiarity with the subject matter and should be able to relate to the topic easily.
| Articles in this importance range are written in mostly generic terms, leaving technical terms and descriptions for more specialized pages.
| [[International relations]], [[Diplomacy]], [[UNESCO]], [[History of the United Nations]]
|-
! {{High-importance}}
| The article covers a topic that is vital to understanding specific topics about international relations or general topics about parts of international relations
| Most readers will have some knowledge of the subject
| Articles at this level cover particular issues related to international relations, specific terms are used to detail the topic
| [[Political realism]], [[Kyoto Protocol]], [[Ban Ki-moon]]
|-
! {{Mid-importance}}
| The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in international relations.
| Many readers will be familiar with the topic being discussed, but a larger majority of readers may have only cursory knowledge of the overall subject
| Articles at this level will cover subjects that are well known but not necessarily vital to understand international relations.  Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text.
| [[Democratic peace theory]], [[Uruguay Round]], [[Koichiro Matsuura]]
|-
! {{Low-importance}}
| The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of international relations, but may cover topics directly related to it.
| Few readers outside of the topic area may be familiar with the subject matter.  It is likely that the reader does not know anything at all about the subject before reading the article.
| Articles at this range of importance will often delve into the minutiae of international relations, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed.
| [[Northwest Passage]], [[Franco-Japanese relations]], [[Dan Gillerman]]

==Suggested standards==
''These are only '''suggested standards'''! These instructions are not set in stone.''

===Bilateral relations===
All articles regarding the bilateral relations between two countries should follow this format in order to have an organization within all such articles:

*Country names are to be placed in alphabetical order.
*Following community discussion ([[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject International relations/Archive 3#RfC: Bilateral relations article name|here]]) neither the noun (e.g. Germany–Italy relations) or the adjective form (e.g. German–Italian relations) is preferred.

All articles regarding the bilateral relations between two countries should roughly have met any of these criteria in order to meet notability for the bilateral relational articles.

# They have been engaged in a war.
# They engage in significant trade.
# They have been/are in an alliance.
# They share a border.
# They have been engaged in a significant diplomatic conflict.
# They have been engaged in a significant trade dispute.

Elements:
* resident representatives
* state visits
* nationals of the other country
* treaties
* common memberships in multilateral organizations

Topics to cover:
* date of recognition
* diplomatic and consular representations and representatives (embassies, consulates)
* cultural and scientific cooperation
* non-governmental actors
* trade volumes
* state visits
* bilateral agreements and treaties
* nationals resident in the other country, migration between the two countries

Sources
* directories of representations
* trade, population statistics
* studies on immigration/emigration
* news reports on state visits
* corpus of treaties
* [[Contents_of_the_United_States_diplomatic_cables_leak#By_region|diplomatic cables]]

===Embassy naming conventions===
Suggest that all articles about a diplomatic mission building be named according to this naming convention:

{mission type } of {country }, {name of city}

For example:
** [[Embassy of the United Kingdom, Berlin]]
** [[High Commission of Cyprus, London]] (with a convenient redirect [[Embassy of Cyprus, London]])
** [[Apostolic Nunciature to Argentina]] and [[Apostolic Delegation to the Antilles]] 
** [[Consulate General of South Korea in Hong Kong]] (Consulates are not quite standardized yet)

===Lists of diplomatic missions===
*Country names are to be placed in alphabetical order. If grouping countries by continent or region, place countries in the region their capital is in (which is usually the city where missions will be located).

== Categories ==
* List of {{subpages}}
* [[:Category:Diplomacy]]
