Military Diplomacy: How militaries leverage social media for strategic objectives

0
The rise of digital platforms such as Twitter has transformed the way governments and various state organizations engage in public diplomacy and outreach. Exploring these themes, G5iO has in the past taken a detailed look at how world leaders and governments use Twitter for digital diplomacy in pursuit of their foreign policy goals.

Methodology: Our criteria for analysis comprised the world’s largest and most active militaries with a strong social media presence, particularly on Twitter. Based on this, we chose the U.S., Indian and Israeli militaries, each of which has a well-established presence online (unlike the Chine..

Greece’s “multifaceted policy” supports political, economic, parliamentary, cultural, religious, and educational diplomacy the secretary general says. We met in an airy seaside café in the seaside suburb of Glyfada. It is possibly one of the few times he has respite. “I have so many events, it’s a pleasure to be able to talk to you,” he has to be somewhere else soon. Chrysoulakis believes that Greek communities abroad play a vital role and the Greek state “wants to activate global Hellenism.” Greece is creating Diaspora networks, and members of the Diaspora are important players in the global economy he says then highlights the “political, economic, and cultural capital” the Greek Diaspora provide Greece.
