Because not every nation will agree with proposed coalition actions, what is an acceptable workaround to accomplish the mission without offending other nations is to establish temporary consensus through personal and professional relationships.
}ONe of the most important principles if foreign policy is to negotiate to reach a consensus. If powerful nations want to impose their will, the outcome is not going to be the best and other nations could be resentful. One smart move for experienced diplomats is precisely negotiating to allow other countries the possibility to be part of the solutions of final agreements, giving them some benefits. It is no more "the winner takes it all." Temporary consensus through personal and professional relationships gains more than imposing one's powerful will.
