Summary/Abstract: The last changes that occurred at the crossroads of the second and the third millennium have directly influenced world states, as well as the relations among them. This evolution has improved and diversified the whole diplomatic activity. Due to certain theoretical and practical evolutions related to different aspects (sovereignty of states, globalization, security environment evolution, and the social, economic and financial dynamics) new approaches of diplomacy have been developed. Currently, the importance of defense diplomacy is a result of the growing role of military and military-political aspects in diplomatic negotiations. This paper aims to present defense diplomacy as a border field having as a start point the interference between diplomacy aspects and national and foreign security. The ways and means through which defense diplomacy full fills its role are varied and fully adaptable to social dynamics, risks and threats to a state at a particular moment.
