Science Diplomacy in the Age of War

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the impact of substate and non-state actors on foreign policy amidst evolving diplomatic dynamics. It highlights the surge in diplomatic engagement from diverse entities like parliaments, local governments, and civil society in the post-apartheid era, yet notes that traditional foreign policy frameworks have failed to adapt accordingly. This disconnect hampers the ability of foreign governments to leverage the insights and resources of these emerging actors. Additionally, it introduces the concept of "Science Diplomacy" as a novel approach in this context.
