Diplomacy is one of the oldest professions in human history. Often issues are addressed as how comparable the functions of diplomacy are through history and how incomparable are means of diplomatic communication. But is it really so? Which are the changes that come from the gradual development and which changes are radical and a result of revolutionary changes in human society and in the international community? May we foresee from development trends what changes may be expected in the future? If we cannot forecast radical changes in the future, what can we do to buffer possible negative consequences? Answers to these questions will be dealt with in the paper. Especially through the phenomenon of the erosion of the state, technical progress, the role of media and changed social structure. Diplomacija je eden najstarejših poklicev v zgodovini človeštva. Pogosto se poudarjajo primerljivosti nekdanjih in sedanjih funkcij diplomacije in neprimerljivosti nekdanjih in sedanjih sredstev diplomatskega občenja. Ali je temu res tako? Katere so tiste spremembe, ki so rezultat postopnega razvoja in katere spremembe so radikalne in so nastale zaradi revolucionarnih sprememb v človekovi družbi in v mednarodni skupnosti? Ali lahko iz trendov dosedanjega razvoja napovemo pričakovani razvoj v prihodnosti? Če že ne moremo predvideti radikalnih sprememb v prihodnosti, kaj lahko storimo za to, da ublažimo morebitne neprijetne posledice? Z odgovori na ta vprašanja se bomo srečali v prispevku. Še posebno skozi pojave deetatizacije, tehničnega napredka, vloge medijev in spremenjene socialne strukture. |
