  • Despite its enormous conflicts, the contemporary world has proved to be the most peaceful period in the world since the two great world wars. Never before have States exchanged their offensive and violent capacities through interaction that promote conversation between them, trade, and especially, create rules to improve and facilitate their relations in the international system. Traditional diplomacy has become a central element in States' political action. However, with the emergence of new information and communication technologies and the new dynamics of virtual sociability through social media, this diplomacy has come under enormous pressure (01). The negotiations within a traditional diplomatic board began to occupy the public space of social media apps where political leaders started to interact and make political movements (02). Thus, the virtual space that for many was seen exclusively as a new domain of war has become, through its political use, a possible new tool for peace-building and promoter of great negotiations between States.
