Strategic Diplomacy and Global Stability: Convergence of Interests on the International Stage

Abstract

This paper examines the profound impact of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical ideas on strategic diplomacy and global stability, with a particular focus on the First World War. Contrary to popular belief that Nietzsche's philosophy advocated for war, this study contends that the misinterpretation and misuse of Nietzsche's ideas had considerable influence on diplomatic relations and contributed to the outbreak and perpetuation of the war. Employing an interdisciplinary approach, this paper scrutinizes the complex relationship between Nietzschean philosophy and international diplomacy. We argue that the proper understanding of Nietzsche's ideas can offer valuable insights into the dynamics of global politics and strategies for conflict resolution. This paper aims to serve as a comprehensive guide to our full research, which explores how philosophical underpinnings influence the course of strategic diplomacy and international relations.
