Direct diplomacy : an interactive blog

For the second year, a practicing diplomat and a young academic have begun an online exploration of the new phenomenon of digital diplomacy.

This research into the use of the internet by practitioners of diplomacy and newly-empowered individuals involving in global affairs is meant to be more than a review of practices, successes and risks in the emerging field. Our goal is to open a dialogue with our readers, to engage in the two-way communication that is the hallmark of Web 2.0.

We’d like to get your views, both those of you that are practitioners yourselves and those of you in the general public interested in the subject. We look forward to your participation.

With this goal in mind, we are now launching a new section of the blog for comments and suggestions. Over to you to continue our discussion!
