Sustainability: The key concept in reconstructing diplomatic theory

Abstract

Diplomatic theory is under reconstruction. The process is long overdue. This article singles out possibilities for improved explanations offered by reconstructed diplomatic theory having the sustainability concept as a pivot. The very concept of sustainability proves able to discern diverse diplomatic entrepreneurs and capture the existing realities of diplomatic encounters. It provides understanding of varied diplomatic actions and new structuring patterns of partnership and connectivity in relations among diplomatic entrepreneurs. The raising awareness that sustainability is highly needed guides the changing patterns of diplomatic entrepreneurs' relationships in finding agreements on innovative practices of multilevel governance for creating global goods and preventing and reducing the production of global bads and disservices. The aspects studied here validate the concept of sustainable diplomacy for navigating understanding and explaining the changed global diploscape.
