Is there any New Diplomacy in the Latter Half of the Twentieth Century?

Essay from the year 1997 in the subject Politics - International Politics - General and Theories, grade: 61/100 Punkten, Lancaster University (Department of Politics and International Relations), course: MA3: Diplomatic History, language: English, abstract: If there is any new diplomacy in the latter half of the century, where can 'new' diplomacy be fixed? In this short essay, when examining whether there is 'new' diplomacy, I shall refer to the transition of 'old' and 'new' diplomacy. By showing the development of new diplomacy, I will examine the transformation from 'old to 'new' diplomacy within its historical setting by giving some examples. In this context, I shall also argue that 'new' diplomacy has not wholly replaced old forms of diplomacy.
