Abstract
A country`s foreign policy is in direct and dynamic relation with the internal
political processes, the dominant ideologies, the constellation of interests and
emanation of political and economic power, with the cultural matrix and value system
which determine the strategic direction of a modern state diplomacy. Foreign policies
reflect the internal political phenomena and processes that project, create and protect
domestic policies in a foreign policy environment.
Since ancient till modern times, culture is undoubtedly an extremely important
determinant in every society. Culture, not only as a goal in itself, but also as a
determinant of the domestic political processes and an instrument in the international
promotion of the country`s system of values, ideas and concepts. Political culture, the
culture of living, cultural policies and cultural diplomacies are an indispensable
component of the analysis of every modern political society, an indispensable part of the
fundamental studies of political science at all world universities. However, political
science does not always give the right answers at the right time, both to major political
issues on the internal political agenda, and to important foreign policy issues. Public and
cultural diplomacy, which far more openly communicate with the domestic and foreign
public, can be of great use for political science in decoding diplomatic actions, but also
for analyzing the internal political processes of creating such a diplomatic activity. If
there are dynamic political processes and changes in a society, they have their own
reflection in the foreign political representation of the country, and therefore in the
domain of cultural diplomacy as well. The means, instruments, methods and contents of
cultural diplomacy can indicate the dynamic internal political processes that create and
determine it, but since good cultural-diplomatic practice presupposes a two-way process
of communication, messages from the external environment where cultural diplomacy
acts can reversely influence the internal political processes that shape and define it.
Undoubtedly, one of the great themes of political science in the 20th century, but
also the first decades of the 21st century, is the functioning and disintegration of the former SFRY. There are numerous studies and analyzes on the functioning of the SFRY
and its dissolution, albeit often presenting extremely contradictory and conflicting theses
and conclusions which are more often than not based on controversy and speculation
rather than on sound scientific analyzes and conclusions. One of the least discussed
topics in political science is the influence of political processes in the creation of the
cultural diplomacy of the SFRY, as well as the same mutual correlation between the
internal political processes and cultural diplomacies in the states created after the
collapse of the federation.
