traditional diplomacy
Since 1945 there has been significant change in diplomatic practice, one argues that old diplomacy has adapted to essential changes in international relations. World war one and world war two has subsequently lead to an unstable second half of twentieth century. Since then there has been massive increase of diverse diplomatic activities and the globally diplomatic scene significantly altered. Diplomacy has been affected by the forces of change as much as its context, is also facing challenges such as revolutionary developments in transport and communications, the expansion of international society to global size and the rift between the East and West, the ways in which states are dealing with one another in a variety of bilateral and multilateral settings and one argues of mixes of both has altered since the peace of Westphalia. Diplomacy is a sensitive area with complex procedures and rules, for example issue areas in foreign policy and many other changes, have demanded an absolute renovate of the organization of foreign ministries. The dynamics of diplomacy has significantly altered compared to old era of diplomacy due the increase of technical nature and also the growing volume expanding agenda. New set of concerns has surfaced since decolonization and their also has been realization of issues surrounding transnational and global nature which at times leads diplomats into new territory.
