Director of Portuguese Diplomatic Institute Armando Manuel de Barros Serra Marques Guedes held lecture before attendees of 11th One-Year Professional Diplomatic Study

The lectures entitled “Global Threats and Conflicts: Some Models” and “Anarchism and Jihadism: Are They Comparable?” were held as a part of the 9th course of the One-Year Professional Diplomatic Study – Diplomacy and Diplomatic Skills.

The lectures encompassed the ways in which through theory and practical analysis global conflicts can be foreseen, as well as the current topics concerning the conflict of resources, power, and cultural differences.

Mr. De Barros Serra Marques’ guest visit is a testimony to the tight co-operation between the two close institutions and points to the Diplomatic Academy’s orientation towards co-operating with a wide network of world-renowned lecturers, as was also pointed out by the Diplomatic Academy’s Director Mladen Andrlić in his opening presentation.

Attendees of the One-Year Professional Diplomatic Study are attending lectures on the Croatian history, Croatian political system, international relations and policy, European integration and NATO, international organisations, diplomacy and diplomatic skills, diplomatic protocol, international and diplomatic-consular law, and other subjects related to diplomatic activities.
