    David Atkinson
    Diplomacy encompasses the myriad processes of formal and informal communication between and among states.
    While evidence of protodiplomatic practices exists from the ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman worlds (especially
    through envoys), the antecedents of modern diplomatic practices can more properly be traced to medieval and early
    modern Europe. The emerging states of Europe slowly began to institutionalize formal diplomatic customs and
    conventions in the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries, forced as they were to engage with one another for political,
    geographic, economic, religious, and strategic reasons. Traditionally (and especially since the Renaissance),
    diplomacy has been conducted by ambassadors and consuls, professional diplomats who function as resident agents
    of their respective governments in foreign states. Since the early 19th century, the leaders and foreign ministers of
    the major powers have increasingly opted to conduct direct diplomacy through congresses, conferences, and
    summits, in addition to dispatching permanent representatives to act on their behalf.

    Conclusion
    Machiavelli believed that diplomacy, unlike military service, was of no significance
    for civic virtue, and that in foreign policy it was no substitute for arms and money.
    Nevertheless, it enhanced the virt of even the strongest prince. It was for this and
    other reasons that Machiavelli also believed that the good faith on which
    negotiation depends wasgenerally observed. His view that promises need not
    outlast the conditions that produce them is an escape clause that is equally
    necessary. Machiavelli does not deserve the charge, laid at his door by Harold
    Nicolson, of corrupting the art of diplomacy.
