| Summary/Abstract |
THE SCIENTIFIC and technological revolution (information revolution) that started in the 1960s became a catalyst for globalization with its concomitant processes, which continue today and involve practically all spheres of public life, including diplomacy. "Today," says Jürgen Habermas, "globally dispersed media, networks, and systems in general necessitate increasingly dense symbolic and social interrelations, which lead to the constant reciprocal influence of local and far distant events."1 According to Habermas, this is a distinguishing mark of today's world.
