THE NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS

The significant change that I considerate is related to the non-actor organisations.

looking today the diplomacy changed to a different path that it once was traditional and distinct for main actors powers in old diplomacy.

The nature of the the new diplomacy went to another level of development of resources and negotiations, not only through main superpowers countries such USA and UK but reached the level of third world countries to be part of the new diplomacy as well. As the NGOs (non-governmental organizations) their contributions is the development in order to shape the economy,education and many important factors(poverty) that still a big agenda for the diplomacy role,(R.P. Barston,2006,pg 1,8).

It is important to acknowledge that once,one of these NGO were ruled or colonised from powers countries and also they were in civil wars,one of the country was for example, Angola. Now Angola got embassies in USA, UK,Sweden. The point is that Angola once was colonized by Portugal many Angolan were immigrating in Portugal looking for work or to live and Portuguese embassies were full of Angolan queuing now is the reverse ,Portuguese have to queue to get a visa to go to Angola to work or live and this amount has increased . http://allafrica.com/stories/200903110333.html

In the old diplomacy it was not available,to put in more simple way.

It is interesting to know that the new diplomacy are embracing these involvement and changes from third world countries and it has a major contributions to the New diplomacy.
