D. Grgurevic, K. Buntak

Abstract

Diplomacy has been an extremely important in the development of civilization from its beginnings to the present days. More broadly, diplomacy presents the design and implementation of the foreign policy, models of the foreign policy, international negotiations and professional activity performed by diplomats. The paper presents the development of the diplomacy from its origins in the era of nation Maya, throughout the Middle Ages, specific forms of creating and building relationships that have developed within the Roman Catholic Church to the importance of the role of diplomacy in the peaceful resolution of global conflicts, achieving peace and ensuring global prosperity today. Development of diplomacy in Croatia is also shown. Emphasis is on the role and importance of diplomacy in the Dubrovnik Republic that stepped out in these skills on a global level, and on the role of diplomacy in establishing the independent Republic of Croatia, 1990. Concluding remarks confirm the basic thesis of this paper that diplomacy had from the very beginning an important role in the global international relations and plays an important role in the development of the Croatian state throughout the history, from the establishment of independence to the present day.
