discusss breifly the status of diplomacy during cold

war in the past war era after 9 11

Diplomacy During the Cold War:

During the Cold War, diplomatic relations were marked

by intense ideological and geopolitical competition
between the US and Western allies, and the Soviet
Union and Eastern Bloc.

The Cold War created a bipolar international system,

with the US and Soviet Union dividing the world.
Nuclear weapons led to a policy of mutually assured
destruction (MAD), with proxy wars in regions like
Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. The arms race
resulted in constant military capabilities buildup, with
occasional détente periods like the Cuban Missile
Crisis.

Diplomacy After the Cold War:

After the Cold War, diplomacy underwent a significant shift, with
the United States emerging as the sole superpower, NATO expanding
and European integration fostering stability, globalization
influencing diplomatic priorities, and a growing emphasis on
humanitarian interventions in conflicts like the Balkans and Kosovo.

Diplomacy After 9/11:

The 9/11 attacks significantly impacted international
relations and diplomacy, leading to a global "War on
Terror" and a shift in security paradigm. This led to the
formation of global alliances and coalitions, a debate
on security measures vs. civil liberties, and the rise of
non-state actors.
