THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF THE NEW DIPLOMACY


The traditional diplomacy was more dis tint in ancient Greece because of the communication process with modern states rather than rather that any form of organisations like church at the time
As it grew politically states found them more connected to contribute.
One of the important aspects are public diplomacy which is describing as new factor of the diplomacy even named as propaganda as many diplomats are very uneasy about the term, public diplomacy brought the soft power to negotiate with different foreign states and non-actors states and Resident embassies across the world which makes the value of the consular services important due to increase flow of people across frontiers.(Feilleux, J.pg55)

Other important aspect states were not longer the only actors involved they are engaging with international actors and non-governmental private or groups’ members such as NGOs and MNCs.
The diplomacy work is in done in vaster scale; diplomats found themselves dealing with large amount of issues that in traditional diplomacy was rare. The today’s problems that various from environmental, population, military security, ideology and territorial rivalry and human rights. The NGOs and Non-states actors play an important role in address these issues to governments. There is a fine line between domestic and international affairs and today is becoming more difficult to separate both.
Although NGOs limitation are wide not having the benefits that diplomacy offers such as special immunities they still maintain as important in order to affect the course of the diplomacy. (Berridge,G .pg253)

Of course we can encounter many aspects from technologies and innovations, transformations the growth of the multi lateral diplomacy but is not New or Old diplomacy is basically Mature diplomacy that deals with different aspects of today like common interest, preventing violence, trying collaborate with developed countries in more diplomatic way and stopping conflicts by forming alliance through diplomacy. (Berridge, G ,pg 255)

  1. I think that we were supposed to mention only one important aspect, but it is difficult to decide which aspect is the most important. Public diplomacy is surely very important and it is also quite a broad subject, because it can involve many things. The question if public diplomacy is propaganda probably depends on what people imagine under the word propaganda. They can consider it as the art of persuasion or as something full of lies.
