Modern Forms of Diplomacy
Abstract
Diplomacy, as the art and practice of conducting negotiations and maintaining relations between states, has undergone significant transformation in the 21st century. The emergence of new technologies, global challenges, and shifting power dynamics have given rise to modern forms of diplomacy, including digital diplomacy, public diplomacy, economic diplomacy, and multilateral diplomacy. This article explores these contemporary forms, their characteristics, and their implications for international relations. By analyzing the interplay between traditional diplomatic practices and modern innovations, the study highlights how diplomacy adapts to an increasingly interconnected and complex global landscape.
