Diplomacy is a peaceful art used by States to maintain official relationships with other neighboring states. The development of diplomacy is parallel to the development of International Law. Diplomacy exists from the Ancient Era and can be dated to 1 stBillion BC. With the advent of the Renaissance, the concept of envoys was added, and diplomacy underwent huge changes, and with time, diplomacy became a distinct subject. The most challenging phase in the development of the subject was during the 2nd world wars. However, diplomacy prevailed, and the growth continued. The era of globalization further entangled diplomacy and the complex structure is rapidly developing as the countries are preparing new methods of making diplomatic relations. Presently, diplomacy exists in many forms and is one of the primary tools of negotiation between nations in the subject of International Law and a Barricade between peace and law. Summary Diplomacy or the art of negotiation has been in existence from a very ancient time. The era of 1 st billion BC witnessed some of the drastic developments in the patterns of diploacy. The early Roman empires sent envoys to the neighboring empires to extend cordial relations. Other early traces include the Middle East regions which were fast emerging. Treaties began to be drafted between many Mesopotamian states and 'Akkadian' or more popularly known as 'Babylonian' was developed as the first diplomatic language. The language was spread throughout the Middle East and was later replaced by Aramaic. With the development of Islamic States, the concept of diplomacy flourished and became a tool for promoting international trade. The European States which were under the control of the Roman Empire, on the other hand, witnessed the breakup of the Empire and the resultant was the division into many small Kingdoms. These kingdoms continued the practice of exchanging diplomats as a method of peacekeeping. Another common practice was the system of appointing temporary diplomats by the Kingdoms for temporary purposes. However, Italy was the first state to develop the system of permanent diplomats, and this system has relevance in the modern day politics. The period of Renaissance bought with it the industrial revolution which changed the notion of Entire Europe. Treaty of Westphalia signed in 1648 bought balance of power within Europe making it mandatory for them to follow a system of diplomacy. Later on, the French Revolution paved the way for the system of 'Ambassadors' in European Nations. However, the Asian countries were unaware of the systematic diplomatic ways, and it was the colonization of most of the Asian and African countries by Britain, which introduced the concept to them. Colonies practicing diplomacy were under the direct control of the Monarch (Britain), and Ambassadors were appointed directly by the Queen (Sovereign Head). The Ambassadors thus enjoyed a special position and formed an elite group in their respective colonies. China presented one of the best examples to understand the role of these Ambassadors. They acted in favor of the colony taking more trading right and reported both to their local Government and the Monarchial Government. These methods continued for long until diplomacy faced its worth enemy in the form of the First World War which affected peace relations between nations considerably.
