This book analyses digital diplomacy as a form of change management
in international politics. The recent spread of digital initiatives
in foreign ministries is often argued to be nothing less than a
revolution in the practice of diplomacy. In some respects this
revolution is long overdue. Digital technology has changed the ways
firms conduct business, individuals conduct social relations, and
states conduct governance internally, but states are only just
realizing its potential to change the ways all aspects of
interstate interactions are conducted. In particular, the adoption
of digital diplomacy (i.e., the use of social media for diplomatic
purposes) has been implicated in changing practices of how
diplomats engage in information management, public diplomacy,
strategy planning, international negotiations or even crisis
management. Despite these significant changes and the promise that
digital diplomacy offers, little is known, from an analytical
perspective, about how digital diplomacy works. This volume, the
first of its kind, brings together established scholars and
experienced policy-makers to bridge this analytical gap. The
objective of the book is to theorize what digital diplomacy is,
assess its relationship to traditional forms of diplomacy, examine
the latent power dynamics inherent in digital diplomacy, and assess
the conditions under which digital diplomacy informs, regulates, or
constrains foreign policy. Organized around a common theme of
investigating digital diplomacy as a form of change management in
the international system, it combines diverse theoretical,
empirical, and policy-oriented chapters centered on international
change. This book will be of much interest to students of
diplomatic studies, public diplomacy, foreign policy, social media
and international relations.
