This is a troubled Era in which globalization has accelerated and where the Law of Increasing Complexity reigns, notably in Diplomatic Negotiations, due to the plurality of behavior inherent to the diverse Actors and the geopolitical and geo-strategic changes of the world political map of affirmation of the Powers that tend to confront each other in the ideological, cultural and religious fields, and in the conquest of the economic, technological and financial markets.

The assessment methods and criteria are translated into a process of continuous evaluation of the knowledge acquired, based on the participation of the students in the classes, the quality of their interventions and their attendance, on an individual basis expressed in the classification of zero to twenty values, in that a rating equal to or greater than 10 values will be considered as approval.
