Realists view diplomacy as just one tool in a state's arsenal, and believe that it is likely to be ineffective without the use of economic statecraft or force. Realists also recognize the importance of deterrence in diplomacy, but do not necessarily believe it must always be coupled with diplomacy to be effective. They do not make a specific claim about the effectiveness of public diplomacy or track-two diplomacy.
