OLD AND NEW DIPLOMACY AND THE ROLE OF COMMUNICATION

39735

Diplomacy has been functioning as a political system since ancient times and regulates relations among states. Traditionally, diplomacy meant the conduct of relations between states through representatives using communication and negotiation on a bilateral basis (Lentner, 1997). The basis of diplomacy is communication of thoughts and ideas between the Governments of States and to an increasing ardent with international organizations and this can be affected directly between Heads of Government or indirectly through the intermediary of written correspondence or of an Ambassador (Feltham, 1982).During in-state and inter-state relations, language is the major instrument for communication and to express the intent quoted by those who shape politics and international relations. While diplomacy has met changes throughout years, the importance of language and communication has not diminished, but increased with different needs.Old and new diplomacy differs in some aspects of its practice depending on the change the world encounters. While communication, by means of it the language, is the basic element of diplomacy, its use and function has not changed but increased with the era of new and modern diplomacy.
