The Diplomatic Moment is described by the DiploFoundation as consisting of four converging events: 1. There is a rough 'balance of power' between states. 2. States acknowledge that they share important interests. 3. When states enjoy some degree of cultural uniformity. 4. When international communications between states are efficient and secure. According to SlideShare which provides the template for this model: This is an inverse model of process representing a funnel analysis. It shows multiple arrows converting factors into a single entity.” This diplomatic model represents the convergence of four conditions that encourage diplomacy.
