Diplomacy and war, as instruments of politics, are linked by multifarious and numerous mutual relations. These forms of expression of political will of a country towards other countries are both aimed at the final goal of imposing own will upon the other side in a conflict. The logic of war and the logic of negotiations are mutually incompatible, while complementary in the measure in which they serve the politics in the attainment of its goals. The discontinuation of the bipolar division of the world, resulting from the cessation of the 'cold war', has brought about the emergence of relatively new forms of diplomacy - diplomacy of pressure and blackmail; political-economic- diplomatic blockade and isolation; armed diplomacy; and other forms of influencing the adversary, even via the organization' of the United Nations. War as an instrument for the attainment of a set goal is being transformed to interventionism of greater or smaller dimensions and intensity, whereat are being sought and applied numerous combinations for diplomatic and/or forceful solution of problems. In most cases diplomatic and military activities are being carried out along parallel lines, whereat political leaders take care that their effects do not cancel each other, i.e. they direct them towards the attainment of an overall political goal.
