    This paper provides an analysis of diplomatic protocol and its development through the prism of communication. Protocol being understood as a means to ensure effective and clear communication, the circumstances and reason for the emergence of protocol are discussed with a further overview of the most influential factors within the process of diplomatic protocol development. Three main factors are here considered as the most significant, namely: the uncertainty involved in any communicational situation, the literacy level of individuals taking part in such situations, and the intentional changes brought into all areas of human performance, and within the process of diplomatic communication, the primary and secondary aims pursued by communication agents. This article unveils these factors within the area of communication, focusing respectively on each of them, at the same drawing a chronological parallel that covers the most significant periods and hallmarks within the historical line of diplomatic protocol development. The avoidance of uncertainty, natural to any individual, is assisted by ritualized and rule-base interpersonal communication as a means to reduce such uncertainty. Then the considerable impact that an individual's self-expression abilities and comprehension skills can have on effective communication are discussed, from the early medieval times of nonverbal and symbolic communication, through late medieval European court mannerism to post-revolutionary and modern use of a more egalitarian communication style. Finally, the article provides some insight into the unquestionable impact that information and telecommunication technological advances have had on the intensification, speed, quality and purpose of modern diplomatic communication as well as on diplomatic protocol as its common code.
