Diplomacy is a process of communication between political entities. One of the most significant change in the nature of diplomacy is the structure of diplomacy. Where states are not only actors involved in diplomacy there are also international organisations. There are two types of international organisations intergovernmental and non-governmental. Intergovernmental is with governments only as members and non-governmental means with groups as members or private individuals. According to Baylis and Smith the increasing number of non-state actors has changed the nature of the new diplomacy and the process of negotiations and decisions. For example establishment of international organisation as League of Nations after the end of Second World War it acted as peaceful settlement of disputes and international forum.
Another significant change in the nature of diplomacy is that it is more open to public scrutiny it is very unlike to traditional diplomacy where diplomacy is usually undertaken in secrecy.
That is true, diplomacy does seem to be under a of more scrutiny than it once was, of course with new channels of communication with wider public this is of course the likely outcome. However, there are a lot of benefits of having transparency as people are able to influence the direction of decisions taken in International Relations, especially through lobbying to take action against injustices.
ReplyDeleteYes I must agree on that with you that lobbying has a great impact on direct decision making process. It is basically a way of persuading convincing something to happen or someone to do something.
