Abstract
To understand diplomatic thinking, we need information not only about the work environment, but also about the value systems of diplomats. To evaluate or orient himself/herself toward his/her environment, the diplomat, like any other decision maker, must relate it to his/her values. Hence, if we want to understand his response to the international environment, we need to investigate the criteria by which he judges international conduct. In this chapter we will inquire into two major values: international peace and preferred world order.
