Milan Jazbec ; Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Slovenia and Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia

Abstract

One could understand diplomacy as organization when discussing management of the processes with which foreign policy is executed. It is the informational-communication processes which enable the processing of the foreign-policy information as a background for taking foreign policy decisions. These processes are of a mutual nature: ministry instructs diplomatic missions, while they reply with daily reporting. The structure of the diplomatic communication is twofold, i.e. internal and external and depends to a high degree on the structure of the diplomatic environment. The style of this communication origins from the basic characteristics of a good language style, taking into account specifics of the diploma tic communication.
