Diplomacy is one of the oldest professions in human history. Often issues are addressed as how comparable the functions of diplomacy are through history andhow incomparable are means of diplomatic communication. But is it really so? Which are the changes that come from the gradual development and which changes are radical and a result of revolutionary changes in human society andin the international community? May we foresee from development trends whatchanges may be expected in the future? If we cannot forecast radical changes in the future, what can we do to buffer possible negative consequences? Answers to these questions will be dealt with in the paper. Especially through the phenomenon of the erosion of the state, technical progress, the role of media and changed social structure.
