2. Negotiation involves trading interests toward an agreement; reaching the point of agreement is essential to moving forward on a common project. See Vincent Pouliot, "Diplomats as permanent representatives," in this issue. Covert action is defined by the state's unwillingness or inability to provide the public justification that is central to diplomacy. The absence of a public justification may suggest that the state finds itself outside the bounds of the available social resources of justification, i.e., of existing laws.

One could imagine other moral schedules for diplomacy at other times and places, where the primary value involved reconciling state needs to, say, justice or natural law or sustainability or some other good. Rule-following is the defining feature of modern diplomacy.
