 MULTILATERAL DIPLOMACY AND INTERNATIONAL REGIMESCiprian-Beniamin Benea ()
Annals of Faculty of Economics, 2014, vol. 1, issue 2, 41-49 Abstract: The history of diplomacy can by divided in three main periods: one is that of occasional diplomacy peculiar to Middle Ages, while other belong to permane diplomacy, peculiar to modern times. But this one can be divided in two parts, too: one with a bilateral character, previos to 1st World War, and one with a multilateral character, manifested especially after the end on 1st World War. This third type is the focus of present paper. And it cannot be separated from the newly international constructs: international regimes, and international organizations. International instritutions – the area where international regimes are belonging to – are legal constructs which provide the formal (and) legal framework for continous negotiations. They are the most visible part of the new diplomacy – the one which has a permanent character, and it has an more open face. Anyway, the most important connection has to do with the international institutions, international regimes, and multilateral international negotiations. In the era of the new diplomacy, they all have a permanent character. International institutions help international negotiations’ carring on; while in their turn, they provide the base for international regimes’ creation, and especially for their evolution. The international regimes’ evolution is an inseparable part of a permanent international framework. And if there is missing a permanent international framework (international organization) connected to a specific regime, this regime is a difuse one, its members have only informal relations among them, while they survey each other, looking at their behavior, but they don’t have a formal relationship among them, which could help them solving their future common interests, and protect them from their common fears. International regimes are very important in the era when evrithing touches, and influences everything. In the same time, the complexity of our present world can be successfully handeled only by common efforts made by all interested states. International regimes are made from two main parts: one regards the principles, norms, rules, and procedures peculiar to a specific international area, while the other has to do with the evolutionary process of these regimes – sustained by a permanent organizational framework, and permanent negotiations. They help their members to attain their goals in conditions of incertitude, without arriving at such a tensions as to degenerate in war. Looking them through in this angle, international regimes can be regarded as peaceful means for advancing states’ interests.
