What are the key differences between security, trade and environmental diplomacy?

The security, trade and environmental diplomacy are related to one other at the same time having some differences. Security diplomacy is carried out secretly within certain number of individuals who have various tasks: negotiating, spreading propaganda, spying etc. These individual have limited information on various aspects and usually having information related to their mission, in order to avoid leak of information which could reduce level of security. So security diplomacy has limited openness to the staff that crying missions therefore have even more limited information to the public, for the same security reasons. Today security diplomacy is many multilateral negotiations and assured through alliances such as NATO. This gives greater security, because military resources control is centralised, plus alliances gives more information sources, and backchannels.

The trade diplomacy is more open than security diplomacy, but of course there exists some secrecy as well. Through trade diplomacy is assured countries wealth, and development. Therefore countries negotiating at multilateral level, for instance in WTO and concluding their negotiations by bilateral, sometimes multilateral agreements. Trade diplomacy gives more information for public in order to encourage business and foreign investments in their country. But trade diplomacy has another key aspect which is related to security, and usually used by multilateral agreements, for instance implementation of embargo on countries which is violating international agreements. Therefore trade diplomacy to some extent helps to ensure peace and security. Also trade diplomacy has another dimension which is progressing at regional level such as EU. There is commonly agreed trade policy which helps region to stay competitive in global market.

The environmental diplomacy is related to security, because natural disasters possessing threat to all countries, and strong economically or military states cannot deal this problem alone. There at this diplomacy all countries are equal to some extent, not like in security or trade area. Actions must be taken commonly by all countries rather than by individual and secret decisions. This diplomacy is open to public at largest level compared to security and trade diplomacy. The reason it is so open because this diplomacy is targeting everyone and would like to convince every single individual to take part in helping to tackle environmental problems. Environmental diplomacy is related to trade diplomacy because, environmental problems emerging because of large populations which requires lots of food, various commodities and transportation facilities. Despite the location of production or transportation, the environmental damage is done on global level therefore everyone are feeling consequences. This means that individual countries or certain regions cannot solve this problem alone and there is needed global action. So single country or region cannot imply environmental rules and regulations for all manufacturers in own territory, because this would disadvantage their trades. Some manufacturers would have to cover environmental costs while in other countries not. So in this area is not possible success without common agreement.
