My understandings of diplomacy today



Looking back to my first impression of Diplomacy it gives a different view of your understand of diplomacy. Diplomacy has embraced different styles of diplomacy form the European style, the American revolutionary style and the third world styles which gives the great importance were and how is the diplomacy, with new factors involved. Form traditional diplomacy that attributes his negotiations, protocols and secrecy to a more modern diplomacy open so to speak diplomacy which involve tackling more now a days issues, such as security, military controls and environmental. The changes varied from states as no longer the main actors, more participation from international organisations and the non-actors engagements helped to change the nature of the diplomacy. The new development of diplomacy brings the public diplomacy, the Internet, World Wide Web all are involved in process of diplomacy. Nevertheless diplomacy is involvement that links countries into low politics in order for the self benefit of their own countries and exercises the culture and policies to a neighbour country it also exercise the negotiations that involve with abroad embassies, diplomats meetings, summitry, trade and bilateral. Today with more involvement with non-actors and non organisations (NGOs) involvements helps to expand the diplomacy agenda to tackle poverty and developments from developing countries. Diplomacy is a good method for forming alliances with countries in order to help the development of a particular governments or country , the public diplomacy as well cultural collaborations, the creations of embassies especial from third world countries, the in or out of people around the world it all contribute for the diplomacy to be more efficient and right because is still long way and still lots of issues that many ambassadors should tackle(health, poverty ,stopping the hard power usage) we just have to wait and see is ,it is the beginner of things that is what I understand what diplomacy is.

  1. I totally agree on what you said in fact as i mention on most of my blogs i attempt to explain diplomacy as a sort of evolutionary process instead of being a direct change between the old and the new, we can see diplomacy as a development.I think it also important that you have mentioned the changing nature form high politic to low in the international system because today more actors are involved in terms of negotiation and it has been a way to consider more issues.
