Hello and welcome

This is the group blog for students on GI2071C The New Diplomacy. This is a new module at London Met and this is the first time I have experimented with blogging in a classroom context (indeed, this is the first blog I have ever posted!), so I am quite excited about how this semester is going to run.

My hope is that students will comment on each other's postings and therefore learn together and support each other through dialogue, debate and constructive criticism. I will also post comments from time to time. Who knows? We may even receive some comments from 'outsiders'! And in the spirit and (short) tradition of weblogs, I hope students will post links to online materials they find helpful for understanding the content of this module.

But that's enough from me! I want this site to belong to the students on the module and I will play a very minor role from now on. So let's hear from the students!
