THE OLD AND NEW DIPLOMACY




The old and the new diplomacy



It has different ways to approach the theories that the new diplomacy has a little taste or part of the old diplomacy that still in use today.
By mention 2 factors that still relevant in modern diplomacy.
1. Factor the French system, that was brought up by British diplomat Harold that allows the states have resident missions (embassies) in states that you negotiating with. The old diplomacy was more distinct in ancient Greece as form of communications and negotiations system in order to deal domestic affairs. But as it the old diplomacy grew politically States founded themselves more connected to contribute by using indirect diplomacy by sending diplomats abroad for the negotiations or communications. (Barston, 2006).
In this ancient times diplomats’ were sent abroad very often and temporary embassies were very costly as the sates grow politically so the expansion of the diplomacy. The diplomats’ were acting on behalf of their states which included allocate themselves professionally in abroad territory, this policy that many countries followed.
Today, there are in modern diplomacy many resident embassies, for example Europe and Africa. http://dc.about.com/od/photos/ig/Embassy-Pictures-/Ireland.htm
2. Factor Still traditional diplomacy was secrecy, the old diplomacy was selected only by bilateral any mutual agreements, and negotiations were made in secrecy, it was very important policy. Some theorist claims that the new diplomacy is open instead of secret but secrecy still applied for the modern diplomacy.
The old diplomacy had protocol, rules and treaties modules that the new diplomacy still uses. The large amount of benefits, immunities, rights and privileges were attached to the diplomats and their activities. Also new diplomacy embraces these.
The new diplomacy uses as mirror of the old diplomacy although changes are more open and advance such as direct ,formal among political leaders the rapid correspondence, the increased of the applications, still the normal process of the diplomacy still available.(Baylis,2003).
