Diplomacy: The U.S. Department of State
at Work
The State Department leads the United States in its relationships with
foreign governments, international organizations, and the people of
other countries. It aims to provide a more free, prosperous, and secure
world. The management of all of these relationships is called diplomacy.
Diplomacy is vital to the United States in that it is the way in which
the State Department formulates, implements, and represents to other
nations the foreign policy goals of the President.
Diplomacy is vital to U.S. interests. The State Department is a vital
part of the U.S. Government because it:
- Represents the U.S. overseas and conveys U.S. policies to foreign
governments and international organizations through American embassies
and consulates in foreign countries and diplomatic missions;
- Negotiates and concludes agreements and treaties on issues ranging
from trade to nuclear weapons;
- Coordinates and supports international activities of other U.S.
agencies, hosts official visits, and performs other diplomatic missions;
and
- Leads interagency coordination and manages the allocation of resources
for foreign relations.
There are more than 190 countries in the world, and the United States
maintains diplomatic relations with some 180 of them, as well as with
many international organizations. Advances in travel, trade and
technology have made the world more interconnected today than ever
before, making interactions with other countries and their citizens more
important for the United States.
The State Department has four main foreign policy goals:
- Protect the U.S. and Americans;
- Advance democracy, human rights, and other global interests;
- Promote international understanding of American values and policies;
and
- Support U.S. diplomats, government officials, and all other personnel
at home and abroad who make these goals a reality.
Protect America
Diplomacy is one of the best ways to protect the United States and the
American people. We use diplomacy with other nations of the world to
successfully deal with a number of challenges that cross national
boundaries and affect us here in the United States, including:
- Terrorism;
- The threat of weapons of mass destruction;
- HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases;
- Dangers of illegal drug trafficking and crime;
- Humanitarian needs of migrants and refugees; and
- Environmental degradation.
Americans at home and abroad face threats to their physical and economic
well-being. The State Department protects our nation, its people, and
our prosperity by helping to:
- Prevent terrorist attacks and strengthen international alliances to
defeat global terrorism;
- Ensure America’s homeland security by promoting policies and practices
to keep travel, trade, and important infrastructure safe;
- Provide guidelines to manage the entry of visitors to the U.S.;
- Promote stability in all regions of the world;
- Prevent enemies from threatening the U.S. or our allies with weapons
of mass destruction;
- Reduce the impact of international crime and illegal drugs on
Americans; and
- Protect and assist American citizens who travel, conduct business, and
live abroad.
Following are just a few of the many ways the State Department uses
diplomacy to protect America:
Fighting Terrorism
After the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, the U.S.
learned firsthand the serious threat it faces from terrorists and from
countries supporting them. Terrorists who performed these attacks had no
respect for human life or national borders. Terrorists threaten not only
Americans, but all people who believe in freedom and democracy. They are
the enemy of all civilized nations, and they will be defeated only
through the united action of nations throughout the world.
To provide leadership in the fight against terrorism, the State
Department works with other U.S. agencies and foreign governments to:
- Identify terrorist organizations and countries that support
terrorists;
- Investigate the activities of terrorist organizations;
- Shut down terrorist financial networks; and
- Bring terrorists to justice.
The State Department’s annual report on terrorism explains what the
United States and its allies are doing to contain the dangers and
sponsors of worldwide terrorism. Also see www.state.gov/s/ct.
Homeland Security
Security for Americans begins at home but extends beyond our borders. In
pursuit of homeland security, the State Department conducts visa
operations and leads U.S. diplomatic efforts to gain international
cooperation on measures to deter threats to travel, communications, and
other critical infrastructure networks—information systems,
transportation, and energy—and to secure our borders.
Visas: Welcoming Foreign Citizens
Immigrants and visitors have contributed greatly to our country, and we
welcome them to continue their important cultural contributions.
Immigrants and visitors who want to enter the U.S. must apply for a visa
from the State Department. The State Department carefully reviews more
than 7 million visa applications per year. The visa regulations help
ensure that no visas are approved for foreign citizens who might harm
our country, thereby keeping us safe while continuing to welcome
citizens from around the globe. Also see http://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov.
Regional Stability
The State Department uses diplomacy in all regions of the world to keep
local conflicts from becoming wider wars that may harm U.S. interests.
The State Department joins with other countries in international
organizations to promote stability and economic prosperity. Following
are some of the regional issues the State Department manages:
Middle East Promote and support the development of democracy in Iraq.
Continue to work with Israel, Egypt, other Middle Eastern countries, and
the Palestinians to find a way for them to live peacefully together.
Also see www.state.gov/p/nea.
Western Hemisphere Join with other countries to confront terrorism and
illegal drug trafficking, while promoting institutions that support
democracy and freedom. Also see www.state.gov/p/wha.
Africa Help fragile nations confront poverty, disease, and war that
afflict the continent. Also see www.state.gov/p/af.
East Asia and the Pacific Participate in organizations such as the
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum that deal with a wide range of
economic issues facing its member nations. Also see www.state.gov/p/eap.
South Asia Support developing democracy in Afghanistan. Work with India
and Pakistan and the international community to deal with problems
between these countries, including the status of Kashmir and nuclear
arms. Also see www.state.gov/p/sa.
Europe and Eurasia Promote the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and
its expansion as keys to international cooperation and security. Also
see www.state.gov/p/eur.
Weapons of Mass Destruction
Weapons of mass destruction—such as nuclear, chemical, or biological
weapons—pose a serious danger to the United States and the world. We
must be concerned about the possibility that terrorists may acquire
these weapons for use against innocent people. The State Department
works to ensure that more countries do not obtain these weapons and to
verify that international agreements restricting such weapons are being
honored. Also see www.state.gov/t/isn/wmd.
International Crime and Illegal Drugs
International crime and illegal drug trafficking affect Americans and
people from every country. The State Department helps other countries
establish and implement anti-crime and anti-drug laws, share costs and
political burdens, and strengthen courts and government institutions so
that it is easier to bring criminals to justice.
Controlling the trafficking in illegal drugs has required increased
international cooperation from all countries. The State Department has
provided technical assistance and training programs for other
governments. We have increased our support for law enforcement and
assistance for developing countries—such as Colombia, Peru, and
Bolivia—to stop production of illegal drugs and their shipment to the
United States and other countries. The State Department’s annual report
on international narcotics control (see www.state.gov/p/inl) outlines
the strategy for dealing with this issue.
Trafficking in persons is a modern-day form of slavery. Criminals force
or deceive their victims into labor or sexual exploitation and often
move them across borders into other countries. This crime of trafficking
human beings has been increasing at an alarmingly fast rate.
Annually, approximately 800,000-900,000 people, mostly women and
children, are trafficked worldwide, including 20,000 persons into the
United States. The State Department’s annual report on trafficking in
persons (see www.state.gov/g/tip) is an important diplomatic tool for
ending this modern day slavery.
Helping Americans
The State Department helps U.S. citizens travel, conduct business, and
live abroad safely by:
- Providing information, including pamphlets and Travel Warnings, on
traveling and living abroad;
- Issuing passports to U.S. citizens;
- Helping U.S. citizens obtain emergency funds;
- Checking on the welfare and whereabouts of U.S. citizens abroad;
- Helping families with arrangements if a U.S. citizen dies overseas;
- Assisting U.S. travelers who become ill or are arrested while
overseas;
- Assisting in international child custody disputes and adoptions; and
- Protecting and assisting U.S. citizens living or traveling abroad
during crises.
Also see www.travel.state.gov.
Economic Prosperity and Security
The State Department supports U.S. businesses at home and abroad.
Officers at U.S. embassies around the world are experts on the business
practices of foreign countries and what products and markets are
important in those countries. They identify opportunities for American
firms and help support them in exporting or working within the country.
The State Department:
- Helps ensure that American workers, businesspeople, and farmers can
fairly compete for foreign investment and trade;
- Negotiates trade agreements to open foreign markets to increase
opportunities to sell American products and services abroad;
- Supports U.S. business interests overseas by pointing out potential
problems and helping make sure that American companies can sell products
or services within a foreign country;
- Works with international and U.S. organizations to represent business
interests;
- Promotes and licenses exports that contribute tens of billions of
dollars to the U.S. economy;
- Protects American intellectual property rights, such as copyrights and
patents; and
- Helps other countries develop strong, freemarket economies that
provide investment and export opportunities.
Also see www.state.gov/e/eb.
Advance Global Interests
Democracy and Human Rights
Democracy and the protection of fundamental liberties were the basis for
the creation of the United States of America more than 200 years ago.
Since then, a central goal of U.S. foreign policy has been to promote
respect for democracy and human rights throughout the world.
The State Department:
Promotes democracy as a way to achieve security, stability, and
prosperity for the entire world;
Helps establish and assist newly formed democracies; and
Identifies and denounces regimes that deny their citizens the right to
choose their leaders in elections that are free and fair.
Human rights are a crucial foundation to create and maintain democracy.
The State Department works especially hard to promote human rights in
those countries where democracy is not firmly established.
The Department:
- Holds governments accountable to their promises to uphold universal
human rights;
- Promotes greater respect for human rights, including freedom from
torture, freedom of speech and other expression, freedom of religion,
freedom of press, protection of the rights of women and children, and
protection of minorities;
- Promotes the rule of law, such as fair judicial and voting procedures;
- Helps reform and strengthen the UN Commission on Human Rights;
- Coordinates support for human rights with our allies; and
- Releases an annual report on human rights practices.
Also see www.state.gov/g/drl.
Other Transnational Issues
The State Department also deals with many issues that are transnational,
extending beyond any single country’s borders. Just a few examples
include:
Health Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and other infectious diseases pose
problems for health around the world and in the U.S. As these diseases
spread and larger numbers of people become sick, the stability—both
political and economic—of a country becomes at risk. The State
Department works with other agencies of the U.S. Government and
countries overseas to prepare and respond to world health problems and
monitor the spread of potentially dangerous diseases. Also see
www.state.gov/s/gac and www.state.gov/g/oes.
Environment Many environmental issues respect no borders and threaten
the health, prosperity, and even the national security of Americans.
Pesticides in food and water, polluted air, and invasive plant and
animal species can hurt our welfare and economy. When people around the
globe lack access to energy, clean water, food, or a livable
environment, the economic instability and political unrest that may
result can be felt at home. Climate change is another environmental
issue, and the State Department works with other countries to reduce
emissions of greenhouse gases, for example, by sharing clean
technologies with developing nations. Also see www.state.gov/g/oes.
Refugees, Migration, and Population Growth The State Department helps
millions of refugees and victims of conflict or natural disasters around
the world. Each year, the United States also allows tens of thousands of
refugees to live in the U.S. permanently. Population growth affects the
environment and the ability of governments to provide services to the
growing number of people who live in less space, use more fuel, and
require more food. Also see www.state.gov/g/prm.
Gain International Understanding
There is no country in the world that is not touched by America, and
there is no country that does not touch us in some way. American
principles of democracy, freedom, tolerance, and opportunity inspire
people throughout the world. Increased recognition and understanding of
these common values increases trust among nations and peoples and
betters the chances of resolving differences and reaching agreements.
To achieve this understanding of other people and nations, the State
Department must explain the policies of the United States. While
ensuring that its voice is heard in foreign affairs, good diplomacy
dictates that we must also listen to the voices and concerns of other
nations and peoples. The most effective way to have others hear our
message is to welcome their views, from which we have much to learn.
The State Department provides information to foreign audiences, often in
various foreign languages, through television broadcasts, videos, print
publications, and the Internet, and by arranging appearances by visiting
speakers. The Department has placed announcements on international
television programs to show America’s values of freedom and religious
tolerance to audiences in Arab and Muslim nations.
One of the most effective means of building mutual understanding is
through one of our oldest tools: educational and cultural exchanges. The
State Department annually sponsors more than 35,000 such exchanges—both
visitors to this country and American traveling abroad. These exchange
programs offer firsthand experiences of American people, culture, and
art to foreign visitors; they also expose Americans to other cultures,
ideas, and experiences. Such intercultural experiences give reality to
the universal values of human rights, freedom, equality, and opportunity
that bind together all civilized nations. Also see
www.exchanges.state.gov.
Support Foreign and Civil Services
U.S. diplomacy requires a group of highly motivated people to accomplish
the foreign policy goals of the United States. The Foreign Service and
Civil Service work together both in the United States and at U.S.
missions abroad to make U.S. foreign policy happen. In the wake of the
terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, our diplomatic presence and
programs are more important than ever before.
The Foreign Service is a group of more than 11,000 employees who
represent the United States in other countries. A Foreign Service career
is a way of life that requires uncommon commitment, but through which
one can achieve unique rewards. Members of the Foreign Service can be
sent to any embassy, consulate, or other diplomatic mission anywhere in
the world, at any time, to serve the diplomatic needs of the U.S.
The Civil Service is made up of about 8,000 employees mostly in
Washington, DC, who provide expertise, support, and continuity in
accomplishing the mission of the Department. Some Civil Service
employees are the domestic counterparts to consular officers abroad,
issuing passports and assisting U.S. citizens at home and abroad.
In addition, more than 31,000 Foreign Service National employees, who
are citizens of the country in which an embassy or other post is
located, are a very valuable part of the State Department team overseas.
These employees provide continuity by remaining in their jobs, while the
Foreign Service officers move in and out of the country.
Both the Foreign and Civil Services offer a variety of career
opportunities. For information on careers at the State Department or at
international organizations, please visit: www.state.gov/employment.

address a variety of challenges as they seek to advance U.S. interests,
including: helping foreign countries develop free market economies,
negotiating trade agreements to open foreign markets; interdicting
terrorist and drug financing; and protecting intellectual property
rights. As an Economic Officer, you may choose to work in economic,
trade, environmental, scientific, financial or agricultural affairs, and

investment and trade.
On a daily basis, Economics Officers are responsible for researching,
advising, analyzing and interpreting the economic policies and business
practices of foreign countries. They identify and work to resolve market
challenges to U.S. interests before they become bilateral or
multilateral trade disputes. Much of this is accomplished through
building solid contacts, relationships and links to all the appropriate
policy and opinion leaders both in the United States and abroad.

daunting, there are several key qualities that successful Economic
Officers should possess:
Sound judgment and versatility

their potential impact on U.S. policies and programs
Ability to solve complex problems through an understanding of economic
analysis tools

real estate deals the next. Switching gears and adapting to exciting
changes come easily to you.

learning new skills and broadening your natural abilities. A Foreign
Service career will provide you with exemplary training, career growth
opportunities, and the distinction of serving your country in a highly
visible position. And, our benefits package is hard to beat, offering a
competitive salary, overseas housing, family allowances, utilities, and
school tuition.
