Me and Diplomacy.


Until recently my opinion on diplomacy was mostly based on various multilateral negotiations attempting to resolve major conflict in the world. Was i right...? Well i guess part of my opinion was. Today i might see diplomacy maybe in other different ways. Most of my ideas on "new diplomacy" were negotiation and made through multilateral organization, more public and using an inclusive system. i actually think today that diplomacy can be a mixture of both new and or old!! For many different reasons as i mention in earlier post blogs is that the old and new diplomacy should be more considerate as process of "continuity" and that this whole concept of ld and new should be more considerate as an evolution! However I strongly believe that in diplomacy today major actors today in diplomacy are many private cooperation or and nongovernmental organization. They in fact play a very dynamics role and are even able to transcend national boundaries and where government cannot really intervene or play part efficiently on human rights or global issue. Major events have actually attracted attention on diplomacy today it could be environmental issues, or 9/11 event that involves serious negotiations were not only sovereign states attempt to find ways to come to an agreements but others as I mention play part to engage , communicate with the foreign policies to promote public diplomacy. The importance of the media in diplomacy has also evolved in a way where it use to be secret and discreet, today major of these diplomacy are shared to the rest of the world.
