U.S. Department of State

The United States Department of State, or the State Department, is a department of the U.S. federal government responsible for the country's foreign policy and relations.https://www.usa.gov/agencies/u-s-department-of-state
==History==
For much of its history, the Department of State, which was what it was originally called, was composed of two primary administrative units: the diplomatic service and the consular service.https://1997-2001.state.gov/careers/rfsofficer.html Each service developed well separately, but lacked sufficient funding to provide for a career. Combined with the common practice of appointing individuals based on only politics, this led the department to largely favor those with political networks and wealth, rather than skill and knowledge.
From 2009-2017, the State Department launched 21st Century Statecraft. It originally had the goal to contemplate foreign policy with newly innovated instruments of statecraft that "leverage the technologies of the interconnected world."
