Crafted Agenda of the new Diplomacy

The most important aspect of the new diplomacy is based on the emergence of non governmental organisation, multinational corporations, and new world actors. However, many would argue that the secret of the new diplomacy resides heavily in the old diplomacy.

Non governmental organisations are not elected bodies in the domestic and international affairs. For that reason, it is difficult to argue the importance of NGO’s in real political agenda and process other than charity. Some of NGO’s characteristics include peaceful agenda which has the potential to mobilise people to form a public opinion and above all confront states when there is a real clash of interests. The legitimacy of non governmental resides in trust that the general society feels strongly about in order to eradicate all form of evil and promote good. It is also necessary to note that NGO’s are also building networks and coalitions with major organisation such as the United Nations and multinational corporations. It is also worth considering the fact that the global membership of some NGO’s supersedes that of most states and some multinational corporations economic positions exceeds some nation states gross domestic product.

Looking at new world actors, ranging from religious guru and celebrities it is necessary to note that religious leaders role in the world affairs existed before and after the famous unrest of the world history. For instance the role that the Roman Catholic Church in Poland. Furthermore, the Vatican has a seat at the United Nations. Not only is Vatican a state within a state, it is a state in world diplomacy.

New world actors also include celebrities and the most important element about these kinds of actors is that they are professional communicators. Celebrity diplomats are often regarded as being good at publicity they can easily engage with the general public.

Many would argue that one of the most important phases of the new diplomacy has extended the sovereignty of the great power through the United nations process and non governmental organization. Rising diplomats are directly or indirectly used by their parent states and most importantly are dominated and subordinated without taking them over since because they are attractive and people all over the world tend to trust their noble works. However, it is difficult to foresee old diplomacy loose it grips as the new gathers its strength.
