SZTUKA DYPLOMACJI JAKO KOMPETENTNE WSPARCIE DZIAŁAŃ POLITYCZNYCH I GOSPODARCZYCH. PRZYCZYNEK DO SOCJOLOGICZNEJ REFLEKSJI NA TEMAT INDII
The art of diplomacy as a competent support for political and economic activities. Contribution to a sociological reflection on India

Summary/Abstract: Objectives:The authors of the study set themselves the goal of presenting the art of diplomacy, which, has long history, in the case of India to the philosopher Kautilya, and understood to be skilful negotiation, requiring high competences in various areas of the state's functioning. Answer the question to what extent does India's contemporary diplomacy bring positive effects in the current politics and in the international arena, particularly in its economy and business.Material and methods:Subject literature Application of one of the methods used in sociological sciences, which is content analysis (literature on the subject)Results:It turns out that the language of diplomacy is used to achieve goals through dialogue, using arguments for and against, in order to achieve the intended consensus. High competences, and the ability to communicate diplomatically, serve to support political and economic activities, often guaranteeing satisfactory results for the parties to the dialogue. India is an example of a country that, taking advantage of various forms of diplomacy, has achieved many benefits in recent decades, not only political but also in business. For, on the one hand, there is the avoidance of armed conflicts (although there is still tension between India and Pakistan) and upholding peace and security, on the other hand, there is the achievement of intensive economic development and success in business.Conclusions:The study confirms once again that, today, the art of diplomacy is gaining a much broader understanding, because in the optics of these activities we find not only political , but also economic and business overtures, as well as a broadly understood culture. Nevertheless, the above mentioned creator of the art of diplomacy, Kautilya (Chanakya) and his thoughts and postulates, seem to be valid still.
