Modern diplomacy’s origins are often traced to the states of Northern Italy in the early Renaissance, with the first embassies being established in the thirteenth century. Milan played a leading role, especially under Francesco Sforza who established permanent embassies to the other city states of Northern Italy. It was in Italy that many of the traditions of modern diplomacy began, such as the presentation of ambassadors’ credentials to the head of state.

From Italy the practice was spread to the other European powers. As foreign powers such as France and Spain became increasingly involved in Italian politics the need to accept emissaries was recognized. Soon the major European powers were exchanging representatives. By the late 16th century, permanent missions became customary.
During that period the rules of modern diplomacy were further developed. The top rank of representatives was an ambassador. At that time an ambassador was a nobleman, the rank of the noble assigned varying with the prestige of the country he was delegated to. Strict standards developed for ambassadors, requiring they had large residences to give parties, and play an important role in the court life of their host nation.
Ambassadors, nobles with little foreign experience and no expectation of a career in diplomacy, needed to be supported by large embassy staff. These professionals would be sent on longer assignments and would be far more knowledgeable than the higher-ranking officials about the host country. The need for skilled individuals to staff embassies was met by the graduates of universities, and this led to a great increase in the study of international law, modern languages, and history at universities throughout Europe. At the same time, permanent foreign ministries began to be established in almost all European states to coordinate embassies and their staffs.
The elements of modern diplomacy slowly spread to Eastern Europe and Russia, arriving by the early eighteenth century. After the fall of Napoleon, the Congress of Vienna of 1815 established an international system of diplomatic rank. After World War II the rank of ambassador became the norm.
Истоки современной дипломатии являются часто связаны с государствами Северной Италии в начале эпохи Возрождения, с первых посольств создаются в тринадцатом веке. Милан играл ведущую роль, особенно в Франческо Сфорца, который установил постоянные посольства в других городах-государствах Северной Италии. Именно в Италии, что многие традиции в современной дипломатии начал, таких, как церемонии вручения верительных грамот послов к главе государства.

Из Италии практика была распространена в других европейских держав. Поскольку иностранные державы, такие как Франция и Испания стала все более активное участие в итальянской политике необходимость принять эмиссаров был признан. Вскоре главные европейские державы обменивались представителей. К концу 16-го века, постоянные представительства стало общепринятым.
В течение этого периода были развиты правила современной дипломатии. Верхняя ранг представителей был послом. В то время посол был дворянином, ранг присвоен благородный различной с престижем страны был делегирован. Строгие стандарты, разработанные для послов, требуя они имели больших резиденций, чтобы дать сторонам, и играют важную роль в придворной жизни их хозяина нации.
Послы, дворяне с небольшим зарубежного опыта и без ожидания карьеры в дипломатии, необходимой в поддержке большого сотрудников посольства. Эти специалисты будут направлены на более длинных заданий и будет гораздо более осведомлены, чем вышестоящих чиновников о принимающей стране. Необходимость в квалифицированных людей, чтобы укомплектовать посольства встретил выпускников вузов, и это привело к значительному увеличению в изучении международного права, современных языков, истории и в университетах по всей Европе. В то же время, постоянные министерства иностранных дел стали устанавливаться почти во всех европейских государствах координировать посольств и их сотрудников.

Элементы современной дипломатии медленно распространяться на Восточной Европе и России, прибыв в начале восемнадцатого века. После падения Наполеона, Венский конгресс 1815 года учредил международную систему дипломатического ранга. После Второй мировой войны в ранге посла стало нормой.
