The Most Important Aspects of New Diplomacy

Traditional diplomacy has evolved over the years. Time has given us what we call new diplomacy. With new diplomacy comes new aspects or perspectives of diplomacy. Many of these aspects are essential to our current diplomacy and it would be hard to pick just one of them.Globalisation impact on diplomacy has been essential. A globalized world has forced diplomacy to be more public and multilateral. Mulitlateral and public diplomacy has become an important part of the of the new diplomacy. Apart from multilateral and public diplomacy there is one more key aspects. Arguably the most essential and influential one.
The emergence and influence of non-governmental organisations(NGOs)and non-state actors is the most fundamental change. Governments around the world have been forced to adapt to their rapid influence and development. Their significance have grown with the expansion of globalisation.In old diplomacy their impact was at a minimum, where the "game" was between states. Today's developed society makes it impossible beyond them.. Their input all over the globe has given them an ability to stretch beyond any borders and are therefore inevitable. Governments have become dependent on various organisations to create economic stability. NGOs breaking of boundaries gives them an opportunity to create economic resources in all parts of the world. A wider range of economic income help stabilizing a states wealth and power for that matter. Their current ongoing economic revival situation gives them an even vaster significance. Governments are depending on their resources abroad to uphold a certain status and reputation. Ambassadors, diplomats and other parts of a governments foreign offices are not the only representatives abroad. Non-state actors and NGOs build relationships far beyond the diplomatic society. Could even argue they create their own diplomacy.
Public and multilateral diplomacy in all respect, but the major impact comes from non-state actors and non-governmental organisations

To further add I cannot disregard from the internet and its impact on international relations and diplomacy.
The cyber-war between USA and China regarding Google has definitely damaged their diplomatic relations.
Google, Internets largest provider of information has had trouble to integrate on the Chinese market because of Chinese restrictions. China believe Google is hurtful by sharing information of freedom etc. It is well known that opposing against the Chinese government is a criminal offence and people are prosecuted on a daily basis. Which really is sometimes hard to understand because we live in a liberal world in the West. This comes as a shock for Google as their market shares have increased rapidly. I guess this would be a very hard market for them to just give because their are more internet users in China than there are Americans who breathe. It is scary how much impact internet can have on not just individuals but diplomatic relations. On todays internet you can find anything from cooking to actually how to make your own bombs,which is very disturbing. It has become the way we connect with each other. I have freinds living all over the world. With a simple e-mail or a message via Facebook I can reach them whenever I like. And no to mention Skype where we are able to communicate with people over through our computers and even through our phones. The evolution of technology is very exciting but scary. I guess these measures are necessary in the rapid economic growth that world is encountering. The next step is going to be interesting. How far are we possible to go? Is it going to be like Star Wars where we send video messages in a capsule and then we communicate? I think my generation has been blessed to live in this IT-revolution we are seeing in today's society. And hopefully it will move in the right direction to involve more people and make life very much easier for all of us
