- Abstract
For the first time in the history of modern international community, starting (at least) from the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, the international system has experienced very big transformation in the absence of a major war. But this does not mean that security issues have disappeared, that local wars are rare or non-hazardous and will disappear from the agenda of international politics, it only means that these issues have taken, above all, new dimensions, including the economic, environmental, cultural, demographic and social components and that the pressure increases to settle them by negotiations and international conferences. If the importance of diplomacy increases rapidly, then the importance of the negotiation process (as a central activity of modern diplomacy) increases rapidly too. Whether practiced formally, in large bilateral relations, informally within the private bilateral relations, or in many other diplomatic meetings/contacts, negotiations have already become the primary mechanism through which countries solve common problems and resolve international disputes. All important international problems, such as nuclear disarmament, solving problems concerning debts and improving the global environment, are largely based on the negotiation process in order to improve living conditions for all people on our planet. Compared with the bilateral negotiations, multilateral negotiations, i.e., multilateral diplomacy, practiced at the international conferences, represents a very complex series of negotiation phenomena. Herein, the importance of the negotiation process transcends the interests of any particular country. Namely, in the interdependent system, violent conflict at any place endangers the stability of the system itself and therefore the effective diplomatic processes are required for preventing the emergence of large violence and chaos within the global system.
