As elaborated in previous writings, the foreign policy subject is tough, enormously challenging and sometimes risky business when it comes to addressing the interstate relations and play around in the very thin area of maneuvering. In that context, table diplomacy is the effective art for avoiding wars and conflicts and this is accomplished by negotiation, or bargaining. Usually, each group in a negotiation will ask for more than they expect to get. They then compromise, or give up some of what they want in order to come to an agreement. The reason why diplomacy in typical foreign policy arena is a tough business because world powers usually have the luxury to enjoy playing in the broader area of maneuvering because they have many more tools and means to enforce their terms as compared to moderate and weak nations. It is absolutely challenging to get more even in negotiations in the presence of a vocal and aggressive power since power tools paly greater role in determining the fate of negotiations.
