The Impact of Economic Diplomacy on the Fulfilment of the Slovak Pro-export Policy Goals

Abstract

For the Slovak, highly open and export-oriented economy, foreign trade is an important factor of economic growth. In the current global economic environment, the process of interconnecting economic relations between countries is constantly growing and the professional economic diplomacy, as a part of the foreign trade policy of each economy, plays an important role. Therefore, the aim of our research was to use scientific research methods to assess the impact of the Slovak economic diplomacy on the fulfilment of pro-export policy goals. At the same time, we try to evaluate how the performance of economic diplomats and models of economic diplomacy affect the development of the economy and export performance. We also focused on examining the task of the innovative diplomacy.
