    About this ebook

    Diplomacy is a peaceful art used by States to maintain official
    relationships with other neighboring states. The development of
    diplomacy is parallel to the development of International Law.
    Diplomacy exists from the Ancient Era and can be dated to 1
    stBillion BC. With the advent of the Renaissance, the concept
    of envoys was added, and diplomacy underwent huge changes,
    and with time, diplomacy became a distinct subject. The most
    challenging phase in the development of the subject was during
    the 2nd world wars. However, diplomacy prevailed, and the
    growth continued. The era of globalization further entangled
    diplomacy and the complex structure is rapidly developing as
    the countries are preparing new methods of making diplomatic
    relations. Presently, diplomacy exists in many forms and is one
    of the primary tools of negotiation between nations in the
    subject of International Law and a Barricade between peace
    and law.
    Summary
     
    Diplomacy or the art of negotiation has been in existence from
    a very ancient time. The era of 1
    st billion BC witnessed some
    of the drastic developments in the patterns of diploacy. The
    early Roman empires sent envoys to the neighboring empires
    to extend cordial relations. Other early traces include the Middle
    East regions which were fast emerging. Treaties began to be
    drafted between many Mesopotamian states and 'Akkadian' or
    more popularly known as 'Babylonian' was developed as the
    first diplomatic language. The language was spread throughout
    the Middle East and was later replaced by Aramaic. With the
    development of Islamic States, the concept of diplomacy
    flourished and became a tool for promoting international trade.
    The European States which were under the control of the
    Roman Empire, on the other hand, witnessed the breakup of
    the Empire and the resultant was the division into many small
    Kingdoms. These kingdoms continued the practice of exchanging
    diplomats as a method of peacekeeping. Another common
    practice was the system of appointing temporary diplomats by
    the Kingdoms for temporary purposes. However, Italy was the
    first state to develop the system of permanent diplomats, and
    this system has relevance in the modern day politics.
    The period of Renaissance bought with it the industrial
    revolution which changed the notion of Entire Europe. Treaty
    of Westphalia signed in 1648 bought balance of power within
    Europe making it mandatory for them to follow a system of
    diplomacy. Later on, the French Revolution paved the way for
    the system of 'Ambassadors' in European Nations. However,
    the Asian countries were unaware of the systematic diplomatic
    ways, and it was the colonization of most of the Asian and
    African countries by Britain, which introduced the concept to
    them. Colonies practicing diplomacy were under the direct
    control of the Monarch (Britain), and Ambassadors were
    appointed directly by the Queen (Sovereign Head). The
    Ambassadors thus enjoyed a special position and formed an
    elite group in their respective colonies. China presented one of
    the best examples to understand the role of these
    Ambassadors. They acted in favor of the colony taking more
    trading right and reported both to their local Government and
    the Monarchial Government.
    These methods continued for long until diplomacy faced its
    worth enemy in the form of the First World War which
    affected peace relations between nations considerably.
