A theory has been advanced for what is called “Disaster Diplomacy.” For example that public health disasters could lead to diplomatic breakthroughs with United States adversaries such as Iran and North Korea. Its premise is that international disaster response can be a form of diplomacy. Its primary feature is that disaster aid can serve to overcome political differences and create an atmosphere of cooperation between countries that previously were adamantly opposed on most issues.
