Europe - Types Of Diplomacy In The Vision Of Sir Harold Nicolson

The paper outlines the types of diplomacy. This brief paper does not include all known and analyzed types of diplomacy. From a certain perspective, diplomacy is also a way of dialogue, of communication between states. Diplomacy seeks to settle and resolve conflicts or remedy differences of an economic, social and other nature. If, for various reasons, they do not find a solution with the help of diplomatic means, only military means are used. From the oldest information about diplomacy, we are informed that the people, respectively the leaders had a certain inclination to try to resolve conflicts, first, through diplomatic means. Even if this process is not necessarily a short-term process, it is preferable to resorting to military means. The latter would cause real disasters and much more material and even human damage. If this happens, it means that at least from a theoretical point of view, negotiations and diplomatic activities have failed. In all this context, it is imperative to take into account the specifics of the actors in question, their language and culture, history, geography, socio-cultural and political influences and, obviously, other elements that could directly influence or indirectly, the activity and the external relations. Thus, without limiting ourselves to these factors, we must admit that the existence of several types of diplomacy is generated. A good external relationship implicitly determines the advantages of those who are involved, advantages of an economic, commercial and other nature. In this way we can distinguish several types of diplomacy, among which we mention: British, German, French and Italian. In general, each state seeks to achieve certain objectives, and to achieve them it is involved in the international diplomatic sphere. Involvement in the diplomatic sphere also means cultivating foreign relations with as many states as possible, especially those with which it seeks to develop business relations, partnerships and agreements in various fields.
