2021-Digital Diplomacy’s Greatest Year

0
The universe, as we now know, began with a bang. A big bang to be precise. A cataclysmic and cosmic explosion that at once gave birth to more than 120 billion galaxies. Digital diplomacy also began with a bang, or a momentous event that instigated a global change in the practice of diplomacy. This event, according to many scholars, was Sweden’s 2008 decision to launch a digital Embassy on the virtual world of Second Life. While it is true that the telegraph, fax and email all predate Sweden’s digital Embassy, and while all these technologies are digital, none of them ushered the current age of digital diplomacy. In retrospect, Sweden’s digital Embassy foretold how this digital age would evolve. First, Sweden never intended for its digital Embassy to replace its physical posts. Rather, the Embassy on Second Life would be used to augment Sweden’s diplomatic efforts by creating the world’s first, global Embassy accessible to anyone with an internet connection. Second, Sweden’s Embassy us..

Diplomatija promišljanja i diplomatija (pre)brzog reagovanja

0
Danas, na početku treće decenije 21. veka živimo u vremenu brzih i digitalizovanih komunikacija koje su u velikoj meri uticale na promenu načina na koji se određeni poslovi obavljaju. Jedan od tih (globalnih) poslova je i opštenje – pregovaranje među državama koje nazivamo diplomatijom. Klasična diplomatija, koju ću ovde nazvati diplomatijom promišljanja, danas se u velikoj meri takmiči sa diplomatijom brzih reakcija („danas za danas“). Nekada je diplomata opštio sa centralom isključivo putem telegrama i pošte koju su dostavljali kuriri odnosno putem zaštićene telefonske veze. Takvi vidovi komunikacije su zahtevali određeno vreme za plasiranje informacija koje su neretko bile dobro analitički obrađene i za koje je bilo vremena da se detaljno sagledaju u centrali odnosno u diplomatsko-konzularnom predstavništvu (DKP). To zapravo znači da je korisnik informacija imao dovoljno vremena da se upozna sa istima, da ih obradi, razvrsta i usmeri ih u određenom smeru u cilju daljeg vođenja sp..

Why LinkedIn left China

0
Our regional managing director for North Asia, Pete Lin, recently wrote this piece for The Drum, discussing the reasons why LinkedIn left China, and its implications. A summary of the article can be found below. LinkedIn recently announced it will be shutting down its mainland China version of the platform. This wasn’t another case of the Great Firewall switching off the lights for a global social media platform. It was a voluntary decision by LinkedIn, as China continues to expand its censorship of the internet. The Microsoft-owned service had censored posts, in compliance with local laws, to operate in China. In recent months, the profiles of academics and researchers have been reportedly blocked on the platform. Then in September, LinkedIn blocked several U.S. journalists, citing “prohibited content” in their profiles. This brought on the ire of the US Congress, which questioned LinkedIn in early October. Congressman Rick Scott stated, “the censorship of these journalists raises ..
