Introduction

The continuous arguments, that the fundamental elements of diplomacy in the present day have driven from the ancient diplomacy. The history of Diplomacy dates back to thousands of years before Christian. The contemporary diplomacy is combined from ancient societies, for instance: Greece, Rome, India, Babylonian, Egyptians, the Assyrians, the Hindus etc. and new diplomacy (Szykman, 1995, 41-44). Due to the tedious and routine atmosphere in the ancient societies, the occurrence of a suitable messenger in the old society, with crucial list to engage in dialog with regional rulers, may have been welcoming and may have stimulated it positively (Mcclanahan, 1989, 19)

The fundamental elements of diplomacy in the ancient history are different from each society. This piece of work illustrates these elements and to what degree are they related to the current diplomacy. Also, this essay will show the essential elements of diplomacy in the ancient Greeks. Johnson (1964) states that the development of science has significant impact on the evolution of the human and global affairs, in which diplomacy plays important role in keeping peace in the universe. This field is relevant to our study, in order to find out the key elements that influence world affairs (Johnson, 1964, 1). The purpose of this essay is to present the essential elements of contemporary diplomacy, such as emissions, diplomatic immunities, diplomatic protocol, arbitration and mediation and the emergence of these elements in the ancient diplomacy, specifically in the ancient Greeks.

The structure of this essay will be in two main sections. The first would illustrate the essential elements in diplomacy; the second would illustrate the diplomacy in the ancient Greek. The approach, which is taken in this piece of work, is to provide critical investigations of the facts and opinions. The data has been collected from reading and analyzing the information from the journals, books and websites. Finally, historically it has been seen that the use of diplomacy has been influenced by the global and regional orders. The relation of states among themselves has been discussed in this paper (Hamilton & Langhorne, 2011, 264).
