6 THE BACKGROUND Introduction The Department of Economic Diplomacy (DED) has been established to cater for the economic development of Tanzania and other developing countries. The course aims at promoting economic productivity and competitiveness in the developing countries by attracting investments and creating a favourable trade in the world. Economic Diplomacy involves the use of diplomacy in the development of knowledge and skills among diplomats, government officials, business communities and the private sectors in international business negotiations, international trade and investment promotion. Economic diplomacy has increasingly become an important phrase and practice in international relations. The globalization process has increased the need for economic development due to the increasing demand for improving standards of living and fighting poverty. Economic development has in such a situation become a world-wide panacea. Training in economic Diplomacy is necessitated by the tremendous economic changes and challenges facing the world. Globalization and economic competitiveness have become part of the new world order. Over the past two decades, the world has increasingly become a global village of nations. The people of the world and nations have been concerned with problems of poverty and peace since the end of the cold war. The post-1990s realities have forced the national leaders and governments to work together towards realizing the new millennium development goals. These have forced the governments to work together with the private sectors and also pursue economic diplomacy more than the traditional politicsoriented diplomacy for the betterment of their nations and world citizens. It is therefore of a strategic value for Tanzania to develop the capacity in training its nationals in the theory and practice of economic diplomacy. The training in Economic Diplomacy seeks to address this strategic goal. It equips trainees with knowledge and skills to quickly respond to global economic challenges such as International Relations and Diplomacy, International Business, Business Negotiations, Trade and Investment Promotion.
