Sažetak

The aim of the authors of the article is to familiarize the Croatian academic and professional public with a specific form of diplomacy – military or defense diplomacy. The first section of the article is dedicated to diplomacy as an integral part of international relations as a subfield of political science, i.e. to the distinction between diplomacy and diplomatic studies; the second to the history of military diplomacy and the origins of defense diplomacy, the third to its tasks and peculiarities in the 21st century. The last section dedicated to the development of military diplomacy in the Republic of Croatia. The authors conclude that diplomacy is part of international relations as a subfield of political science, but also that international relations do not hold a monopoly on diplomacy. By analyzing the definitions and tasks of diplomacy whose main actors are military or defense attachés, the authors conclude that military diplomacy and defense diplomacy represent two stages of development of military/defense diplomacy. Due to the change of its basic tasks, until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, intelligence activities were a priority activity of military diplomacy, while in the post-Cold War period the focus of defense diplomacy was on improving relations, partnership and cooperation between states. Regarding the Republic of Croatia, the authors argue that for historical and traditional reasons the term military diplomacy is still used, although the tasks of defense diplomacy are performed under this name.
