Exploring the evolution of diplomacy, this essay examines the concept of Public Diplomacy, established nearly a century ago to engage foreign populations through cultural and informational initiatives. It contrasts this with Military Diplomacy, historically limited to military attaches acting as the nation's observers before modern surveillance technologies emerged. The discussion highlights the intertwined nature of military and diplomatic efforts, referencing Clausewitz's notion of war as an extension of politics, emphasizing the shifting roles and functions within international relations.
