what are the key differences between security, trade and evironmental diplomacy

These three issues are all very important in the international arena, playing a part in the growth of their State in prosperity and prestige.
Security is a major issue that focuses on the State and the self interests of that state, dealing with countries either bilaterally or multilaterally, mainly bilaterally, to heighten its own protection of its state and sanction others that they may see as threats or come to some agreement in order to enhance their security. The usual process for these discussions would be carried out in a discreet and private matter.


Trade however is a more open subject for discussion among the international arena, taking a multilateral approach as it is a topic that must be agreed on internationally for either free-trade or other alliances and tariffs to be decided upon. The World Trade Organisation is an example of this as it is an international organisation that governments can attend, that states know of their agenda so it is easy to acquire agreements and nothing is carried out in a secretive way, having said that though
When trade first came about they had to do it in a secretive way in order to achieve access to better trading ground and other routes into other countries.


Environmental Diplomacy is another example of multilateral diplomacy as they have to negotiate on an international level. Both Security and Trade are similar in a sense that the State is only interested in the protection of its state and the economic growth of its country but environmental diplomacy is not an issue that can be described as a self interest for a state it is more of a collective self interest for the world. Environmental diplomacy does not seek to enhance the state rather putting sanctions on it if it goes over a certain percentage of carbon emissions or greenhouse gases. Environmental diplomacy also has a majority of NGOs which security and trade do not have at their negotiations, although they may have some.
