An Attempt to Determine Economic Diplomacy

Dubravko Žirovčić ; Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, Republic of Croatia

Abstract

The term economic diplomacy has established itself in the Croatian literary expression as an umbrella term for ali the activities of the national state to protect and promote its own economic interests in the international environment. Under the broader concept of economic diplomacy we distinguish the activities within the economic and then the commercial diplomacy. The economic means of foreign policy is divided in the two largest groups: economic (development) aid and economic sanctions. Contrary to these traditional concepts, we have a newer phenomenon called: 'country branding'. Some countries use different systems of organization to promote their economic interests in the global environment, and such a system is called a model of economic diplomacy.
