Grasping the Mental World of Diplomacy in the Late Modern Era: A Conceptual Framework (original) (raw)

This paper explores the conceptual framework of democratization in the context of late modern diplomacy, highlighting the sociological and political-institutional transformations in international relations during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It examines how the rise of mass media and shifts in public opinion influenced diplomatic practices, the role of national leaders in international policy, and the criticisms of traditional diplomacy leading to demands for greater transparency and inclusivity in diplomatic processes.
