A New Era in Diplomacy: The Case of the Antalya Diplomacy Forum

ABSTRACT

This article aims to research the reasons necessitating new methods in diplomacy. Diplomacy is evolving and its language and methods are changing due to new fluctuations in global politics compounded by the Covid-19 pandemic. The study argues that the evolving nature of international society and its current agenda generate a symbiotic environment in diplomacy, requiring the adoption of new methods and approaches. In this context, the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, established as a platform where various experts, stakeholders and decisionmakers have an opportunity to discuss significant global and regional challenges, find solutions and exchange ideas, may be considered one of the best examples of innovative diplomatic methods in the new global era.
